Short Trip

I went up to the Arlington area this weekend. Several of us from the BSM leadership team went to a conference on small group leadership. It was cool, but nothing surprising on the nitty gritty of it. It's all about the relationships. Programs and 10 step methods are great, but lives don't get changed until you invest in them personally. And that's just about the toughest thing that anyone can try to do. I picked up a few ideas here and there, but the really cool thing was running into a few old friends and making a few new ones. Rocky, Gary, and Lindsey, it was an awesome surprise to see you. Lauren, it was a great time hanging with you.

Stills
My life in black and white, frozen moments of wonder,
And You place them upon a crimson wall,
The pondering, the reverent, and the absurd.
You take these thousands of words,
and you steal away the language of my soul;
Not one word is left upon my tongue.
A thirst comes pouring forth like ten thousand flowing streams,
And Your glory strains this mortal flesh and finite mind.
May Your will be done in my heart as it is in heaven.
