PoMoHippy CharisMystic. ---------- “Ministry means the ongoing attempt to put one's own search for God, with all the moments of pain and joy, despair and hope, at the disposal of those who want to join this search but do not know how.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen

OK, i'll say it..... I AM A DECONSTRUCTIONIST ........ i want to deconstruct all the hoopla around churcheeeeanity.... and introduce people to JESUS...... ..... and just start there... and let Holy Spirit do the job of conviction in hearts. Is this too simplistic.... ?
Perhaps......... but i think we've made the Gospel way to complicated . I'm glad these guys are at least looking at it..... when the guy asks "were they bored with God? What brought this about?" It's a fair question.... but i guess for me, i've gotten bored with church with all it's propaganda .... i do think that within context of at least Western Culture, it's gotten too easy to just "go to church" and think "this is what it's all about to be a christian."- i like edge walking and the saltiness of the dialogue. just my thoughts here.
I do love this mans music... rich, deep, thought provoking and a gut punch! NICELY DONE NEIL!!!!!!!!! Tipping my hat across the pond to ya!
Ok, admittedly, i've been a Dr. Who fan since i was a kid... i would have loved the cartoon version of it..... but hey "your never to late to have a happy childhood" (tom robins for those that don't know that quote)
Gotta say, i'm chuckling on the american accents and the Area 51 reference ... seems to be a lot of that in reference lately.
I'm home today with a cold or flu, not sure what, just feel like general crap- so i'm distracting my cough with my computer. Seems if i take a vow of silence, my throat doesn't scream, my lungs aren't burning and i'm not coughing my head off. - yes, my husband KNOWS i'm sick if i don't say a bloody word! Some of my friends that are reading this - will be laughing at that thought. (so i sneeze in your general direction for doing so!)
