November Breakfast Recap

Thanks to John and Green Pastures for hosting this morning.  John promised us that danishes are better for you than donuts though I think that may be like saying that 1/4 lb burger is better for you than 1/3 lb burger.

I continue to appreciate the growing depth of our conversations in which we are able to discuss everything from cancer to depression to sex offenders to universalism.  Perhaps what makes each of these conversations so rich is that: a) they arise from our situations of ministry or home rather than just from our minds and b) we've developed enough trust to share our struggles and things about which we might disagree.  As part of our mission is to develop trust, I left this morning encouraged.

Another thing about which i am encouraged is the work Brian Olsen has done to establish a similar ministerial group across the interstate in the South End.  Recently Brian and I talked about joining the groups for a meeting and it looks like there  is no better time than the present.  And so, next month we will meet on Wednesday, December 12th at 8:30 at Evangelical Reformed Church just off 74th street not far after you cross South Tacoma Way.    7435 South Madison Tacoma, WA. 98409is the exact address. 

Until then, have a great Thanksgiving,
Ken
