We are now back home after a pretty long day. We stopped by my parent’s place before coming here to chit-chat a bit and get our presents from my grandparents.
Boston keeps coming up in conversations… much more so than any other city. It came up again while talking to Deb and Thomas on Sunday night. We need to be more serious about praying about it…. I think God may be trying to tell us something.
Been a busy couple of days. Yesterday we headed down to Stafford, Virginia to attend the wedding of my friend Kim Meadows to her now husband Tony Mesida. Well, we got stuck in HORRIBLE traffic and missed the entire ceremony. So we just right to the reception, which was nice. Kim has finished her Masters from Southeastern and Tony will finish his PhD in preaching from New Orleans in May. They seem like a good fit for each other. I’ll put some pictures in our photo album when I get home.
From there we came down to see Alicia’s family. We did the whole Christmas thing here last night at like 1AM. It is a very different experience than it is with my family. They are really fun people. We’ll be here until Tuesday.
Wow, Alan Creech went off last night about postmodern and emerging church… definitely worth a read.
Well, it’s almost been one and a half years since we got married… and just this morning did I get a good photo album online. I scanned in 105 pictures, I hope you enjoy them. There are also some Christmas photos in their own album. And now that I have a digital camera(Christmas present from Alicia) expect to see more photo albums show up.
I have been thinking some lately of what it means to be post-reformation. The Reformation, you know, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Urlich Zwingli and all them… it was so tied to the Enlightenment. What does that mean for us now that we are moving beyond the Enlightenment? We are starting to restore what was lost when the Enlightenment came. I see the same thing happening in the post-reformation church. Communal living, set times of prayer, common scripture readings, an emphasis on faith and works(obedience)… It has been interesting to see and it is interesting to think about.
