may Your people be as one

what do resources people have to offer?

time
needs (yes, needs are a resource)
vision
experience
money
skills
space
materials

how can we connect these pieces to bring action?
specifically in the Church?

these must usually be locally provided:

time
needs
vision
skills
space
materials

these are usually free of spacial constraints:

experience
money

i want to help the Church bring these pieces together to act more unified and more efficiently as the Body of Christ.
my vision is not for all the congregations of the city to be one, but to be as One.
and i want the city to know us as One by our love, not merely by our shared beliefs or labels.

how can this be done?

repetition

as this is where i am moving my words, i am continuing to add old and odd writings to this blog. as such, i think it is good to repeat the disclaimer...

take care what conclusions you draw from these words.
the danger of words is sometimes we don't know what they really mean.
context is useful.
so here's a little of mine.
i write when i'm thoughtful.
i'm more often thoughtful when down.
i write emotions no less than beliefs.
these are only rarely careful articulations of my mind.
i reserve the right to disagree with myself.
people change.
but i'm trying not to revise the past.
so these are a piece of my yesterday.
think what you will.
say what you think.
