This gives further insights into what we all 'experienced' and provides further help when sharing with others. So many are reflecting and processing their time in Albq. and are empowered for service in the Kingdom and in greater efforts to be welcoming to others in the Kingdom.

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:12:53 +0000 http://kathyescobar.com/?p=1717#comment-2258 Hi Kathy, I am busy reading up on the various Albuquerque reports. It is great to consider how this conf. affected, inspired, and wowed so many. It is great to relive and rethink what we corporately experienced there. This can be an impetus to be bold and continue to take risks in the Kingdom. I liked Cody Stauffer's report as well as Jonathan Brink's post conf. report and his interview with Phyllis Tickle. The processing continues to go on in my heart. I have and will continue to share my experience of the conf. with many others, as the Spirit leads! Bye for now, Barb O.

(and my friend kevin who is from UK and lives here and always reminds us of the kingdom!) i love what you said here about the kingdom being now... "As citizens of that Kingdom our lives are lived in the outworkings of the Sermon on the Mount." yep, there it is. brother maynard - thanks for the link love jim - it was fun hanging out with you guys, so many great thoughts that will linger. see you soon, i hope! jeff - i haven't read ReJesus, but i agree that in all kinds of ways the way we over-focus on certain aspects of God we can end up limiting our spiritual journey. i know that i can sometimes lean the other way, too, too much focus on Christ's humanity and not enough on his divinity. living in the tension and the balance i am guessing is part of our continued growth and transformation. ps: how do you know she didn't speak in all lower caps? laurie - i am so glad we can stay connected in spirit across the miles. you are bringing the kingdom to those kids & families. amy - always nice to hear from you & glad that you enjoyed these thoughts. it was a great conversation! jeff g - thanks for your honesty. yeah, you are up close and personal seeing what really happens in the underbelly of church and politics. it makes me so sad to hear, but it is so real. protecting jobs, attendance, money, buildings over feeding people. it is rough on my soul, too. i love what you said here: "We, as christians and church, must break the silence. We must be the voice. I know that there are many that stuggle with the “power” word. But, some of us have the “power” to have our voice heard for many whose voice will never be heard." amen. we must use any power and voice we have on behalf of those that have none. cheering you on from afar... davida - yeah, those are the moments that restore my hope in the big beautiful body of Christ. tammy - :) sage gave you the details, but come on down any saturday night. the website has all the details: www.therefugeonline.org. sage - i like our version of the countdown clock..."hey all, it's time to start!" abmo – yeah, i thought it was a great one, too, and have really been pondering it a lot this week also…
