Nice to wind down tonight … and begin the gradual steps transitioning from 2005 to 2006. The kids are asleep 🙂 I enjoyed a wonderful evening dinner with family .. especially grateful that my Dad, John (my Brother – making it the last moment) and I could be together because it’s REALLY hard to get…

What’s the Point of Church? (mp3) I was laughing and brought to some simple deeper reflections after listening to my UK friend Jason Clark He asked a great question, “What if community is a by product of being and doing church?”.
