It's been a long time since we connected. When you have a vision that you are shooting for, the frustration of transition/anticipation can be a daily battle. We feel like if we don't continue to look ahead and cast vision for where we feel God is taking us, that we are being irresponsible, stuffy, or even the very "sticks in the mud" that have frustrated us from our previous traditional backgrounds. However, if we don't celebrate the attainment of small goals as we pursue that vision, we'll never have landmarks that we can go to and feel the affirmation/accomplishment that comes with knowing that we are making progress in our pursuit of God and the vision He’s given us. Let's allow the Spirit to lead us in which balance to strike. Glad to hear about the exciting things happening at Fellowship! Hope you and your wife are doing well - maybe we can work on getting the families together sometime in the next few months.

Your last 2 posts, when taken together, make an interesting combination. I believe that sometimes dreams are just dreams. But other times... they mean something. You don't even need to buy into modern psychology to see this. Joseph, of course, was a dream interpreter. At any rate, here's what I get when I look at this post and the last one: FC has been driven into the mountains twice before. It's beginning to almost seem inevitable. We're into the third replay of those events: We reach a certain critical mass, and like a bunch of plutonium, we explode once we reach this size. I totally hear what you're saying about contentment in general. It's not a bad thing, often times. In this case, though, I find myself wondering if contentment is the enemy. Contentment is sitting back and going down with the plane. Hmmm.
