Small church, big church @ Catapult Magazine

Click over to Catapult Magazine to read my latest article: "Small church, big church: A search for just right."


I’ve had a see-sawing relationship with the size of our churches, with all the vertigo and shakiness that metaphor suggests.
...
I suspect small churches are withering, and that big churches are superficial. But if a medium church stays medium, then isn’t it stagnating?

Loving as serving

Making a new batch of Muddy Buddies every time I run out,
       without judgment or query

Cleaning up our own muddy buddy
       without disdain or distaste

Hiding under a blanket
for hours
and
taking a 2-year-old
to the zoo

Fetching me a drink
from the fridge
and
a toothbrush
for the kid

Cleaning the place
for your mother-in-law
and
hanging up
my shirts

Knowing my love language
       even when I don't

And even though it's not your language,
       speaking it fluently.

Wordless Wednesday: Clouds are our friends



I've spent a long day getting soaked in the rain. I wanted to remember happier clouds.
