Many Swirling Thoughts

There is so much zooming around my grey cells these past couple of days that I'm going to need to invest some "alone time" in creating some sort of synthesis out of them.

After about an hour of listening and asking me questions, Wendy finally had to say, "STOP! You've got a million ideas bouncing around and maybe they're connected somehow, but you're making me dizzy."

I'll blog more after I sort through these many mental synapse explosions. In the meantime, here's a quote from late December of last year. While it may seem a little self-indulgent to quote yourself on your own blog, the following statement (from Deecmber 13 2004's entry "Postmodern Missionaries") is something I feel far more strongly now than when I first wrote it:

"If we do not approach our ministry in a post-modern, post-Christian society with a missionary's eye to learning the culture, joining the tribe, and contextualizing the gospel, I fear we may find ourselves -- no matter how emergent or destructured we are or become -- increasingly isolated and ineffectual."

Stay tuned...
