About your ministry and your mission. Reading from 20-somethings about church and what church is, and from people who have been burned by the church and frame their view of God on that. I love that you have a healthy view of Church and that your not limited by denomination or walls or location. I'm becoming inspired by connections again, not necessarily face to face interation. It's a good thing. Thinking alot about you in the past couple of days. About your ministry and your mission.

It speaks into so many areas of my life. Thanks. Jon, I’m finding this should/could distinction very liberating over the last couple days. It speaks into so many areas of my life. Thanks.

But you are right (and I take no credit for the realization whatever), "could" reframes. Thank you for helping make that connection. oh, meg. when i read your post, you so capture how I so often feel and why I avoid goals (which don’t however, return the favor).

There is a constant drive to be more than we are. It's a concept I've always embraced. But the implications on my state of being are not good. The simple word "could" changes this entirely: http://maine-lymegin.blogspot.com/2008/02/being-better-every-day.html Once again, thanks. Jon,
