"a healing place for hurting people"<BR/><BR/>2. that hippie who gets up to preach every week<BR/><BR/>3. it's simple, without trappings--sing to worship, sit to learn, pass a plate, and stand to be blessed<BR/><BR/>4. a nursery!!!<BR/><BR/>5. musicians who want to usher in the Spirit and also care about developing their skills to that end.Adam Jeskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748736659390174249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17636597.post-1133362722046208552005-11-30T08:58:00.000-06:002005-11-30T08:58:00.000-06:00cory, thank you for the first laugh this morning. ...cory, thank you for the first laugh this morning. i clicked on the "cynical" link and definitely enjoyed a vocal chuckle in my office space. thanks for that.<BR/><BR/>but as far as church goes, i had a hard, hard time making the transition to a new church when i moved to chitown. it'd be MUCH easier for me to draw up a list of reasons of what makes a bad church, but boo, no.<BR/><BR/>so here's the thing i really like about my quite imperfect church now:<BR/><BR/>1. free food and coffee (i'm a sucker for any church like that. it just WORKS)<BR/>2. no pretension among the leadership<BR/>3. a worship pastor who quite obviously desires to usher in the presence of the holy spirit<BR/>4. my pastor's long hair<BR/><BR/>i know it's not much. and there are a hundred things i would love to see different, but for me, i feel i have to change my hidden motives of "i would do it better if i were in charge" and learn how to pray for the leadership of the church and, essentially, follow. <BR/><BR/>anyway, i haven't had coffee yet, so forgive me if it's all incoherent ...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088338351253244750noreply@blogger.com
