A Few Notes From The Current Session . . .
95% knowledge – as Christ followers we have to be in the other 5% where we are in the mystery.
All great scientific discoveries are found in the unknown – we have been telling folks we know more than we do. We just know God.
We will live in mystery and uncertainty forever.
Car hitting you from nowhere – why? We block out and are blinded to the onslaught of Gods communication to us.ÂÂ
For too long we have been in the wrong conversation and our minds have become rigid.
Imaginary friends – If one transforms you, dnt get rid of him . . . Kids eat dirt, but not vegetables. Teach them how not to eat rocks.ÂÂ
Maybe the imagination is there because an infinite God needs a finite place to interact with us. Prod and provoke one another to a greater imagination. Imagine a new future and a new world, then live as if that future is coming and as if you are a part of that.
God gives us freedom – we choose shoes and bagels – We think when it comes to the church we act as if it’s different for the future?
What comes after the postmodern world? Whatever you choose – We wait to see what kind of future the world creates, rather than creating it and letting the world respond to it. We need to create the future instead of reacting to it.

Mark, thanks for putting some notes up — I had promised myself not to forget these things, but of course, without writing them down, I have. Please, put more up!
It was great seeing you! — see you in May?
