But, a thought that I have is that often context leads us to unusual places. Since coming to Reedsburg I have worked with many more homeless and disenfranchised than I had ever been exposed to before. It is rather odd in a town of 10,000 people or so, sort of off the beaten track, but that is the reality of ministry in this place. Anyway... I have found that language is often a stumbling block. I have as do you a back pocket full of words that express the fullness of God for all. But, I have found that often this language can not be fully grasped by the folks I am dealing with. I feel a little like Vizzini in the Prices Bride when he keeps uttering the phrase... "Inconceivable!" And Inigo Montoya says to him finally... "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."<BR/><BR/>Ok, I am getting long here... but my thought is that words have meaning in relationship. Be that the old school relationship of a formal congregation where the heavy lifting of language has in part been done by those who came before us. In the relationships that God calls us into today outside of the comparable safety of the church, that may mean the hard work of establishing a vocabulary that can carry the weight of that relationship.<BR/><BR/>I think you are on to something with the migration thought. I find myself wondering how the blessings of past language can translate, or morph into blessings now. Ok... I'll stop now!<BR/>Peace,<BR/>the older balder Davidpdbbhttp://pdbb.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856968518135187295.post-32639761804280992022009-03-07T12:57:00.000-08:002009-03-07T12:57:00.000-08:00Uncertain and facing faith as a challenge - sounds like you are right where you're supposed to be.Joan Ballhttp://blog.beliefnet.com/flirtingwithfaithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856968518135187295.post-19186041243665454232009-03-02T09:29:00.000-08:002009-03-02T09:29:00.000-08:00Thanks for stopping by Joan.

I was interested in the whole emerging thing, then I came back to the person and presence of Jesus. Jesus came to set people free, free from sin, self, isolation, false identity. To be the shalom we could never be. <BR/><BR/>I really don&#39;t what we have to offer people if it isn&#39;t freedom in Jesus. The emergent thing to me is dead. It is a spiritual culde sac. <BR/><BR/>Jesus came to that the will of the Father will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We need to do ALL that he said, feed the hungry, care for orphan &amp; widow, cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead, proclaim him as everlasting life. I pray that the people who you dialogue with experience the freedom of Christ.<BR/><BR/>TimTimothy Wrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00808129974201535654noreply@blogger.com
