embracing life

Another perspective on life, worldviews, and God - and how they all fit together in everyday experience. Simple stuff.

"how's the church going?"
A question I hear often, I just wish I knew what it meant. Or maybe I should say it like this, I wish I knew what the person asking the question meant. Because depending on what the real question is behind the question, my answer will vary.

Some want to know about our attendance. Some our budget. Some our # of baptisms. Some our involvement in the community. Some about our location. Some the friendliness. Some the music. And so on.

So how is Citywalk doing...well it depends. Some will think we are struggling while others may not. The outside person watching the #'s will feel differently than the person who's life is being transformed because of their home church.

So I apologize if you've asked this question and have not received a straightforward response. I will say this, I love what we're about and what we're doing. I confess at times it feels like we're still trying to find our way, but I couldn't do it any other way. I believe in the vision and dreams of Citywalk and count it a tremendous privilege to live life (churching if you will) with others in our community.

me too. I so often think about how melissa and i ended up down here getting to be a part of citywalk. I wish only we were even more involved and even more helpful and even more giving. But i am so happy.. blessed to know that helping more and helping less we are still friends in it (churching)together, and will always be.

privilege here too dude.
