After Aida commented on the TAKE A DEEP BREATH post I decided to go ahead and add this story here on my blog. I had just made a post about it on The Shack and The God Journey forums.Last night myself and my wife had the pleasure of providing a place for Eric and Tayna Rogers and their children to spend the night as they made their way back home to Atlanta from their time spent in Iowa for Christmas.
Tanya and I met on the forums many months ago and have been communicating through PMs, emails, text messages, and phone calls ever since. It was so much fun finally getting to sit in the same room with her and Eric and their beautiful children. The evening was so blessed with wonderful conversations about this most wonderful journey we all find ourselves on together as we learn to live inside the relationship with Father Son and Spirit. The very place we belong. It really was as if we had known each other forever.
That makes two weekends in a row that Julie and I have been able to sit with friends we have got to know through The God Journey and The Shack.
The Church that just happens organically around people being joined together through friendships is such a wonderful thing. When politics and power struggles and agendas are removed healthy relationships just begin to happen.
You might be asking: "Where's Julie?" She took the picture. Tanya and Eric have one with Julie in it so once I get a copy of it I will add it to these.

that's awesome kent!
Way cool!
Like a dream come true.
I keep hearing these stories, and hoping you guys are all real. Like this really happens; you're not just names behind a computer. :)
we're real alright and the life of peace that passes all understanding is real also. And it is possible to find your way to a place where the reality of his yoke being easy and his burden being light also becomes more real than you ever have imagined before.
There are no formulas here and often it is the old familiar formula paradigm that has to be abandoned so that something new can emerge.
Kent,
Very cool! Thanks for sharing these pictures and that you got to meet them and spend time with them in person!! They all look lovely. Their children, adorable.
Blessings,

Kent,
I'm envious in a good sort of way, and look forward to similar opportunities when we're next back in the U.S., or at other stopping points in our travels!
Happy New Year!

Yay. This is cool :) I am meeting up with my blog friend Lou and Heather, who I haven't met yet, in a couple of weeks. Yay :)
So much better when it's just happening naturally. I sat in a pew a week or so ago and I must say it felt strange to me. This way, much better :)
