Immersion: Living on Mission
Good afternoon! I'm blogging to you today again from Java Madness, my favorite coffee shop in town. It's good to sit here, surrounded by people, feeling really, really alive - I love my job!
Anyway, once again I have three short pieces to share with you that I wrote for our Immersion gathering on Sunday evenings. The experience Sunday evening centered on what it means to live on mission with God, as we connect to him, each other and then to our community. We played in the dirt for a little while and shared some good conversation about how we each experience those connections. You'll miss the full effect without the hands-on element, but the written pieces might at least give you some food for thought.
Feel free to comment on any of the pieces anywhere you'd like - let me know your thoughts about what it is to live connected these ways.

I really enjoyed Immersion that night inspite of sickness and fatigue. I agree with the "playing in the dirt" thing. It does help us reconnect with the God that created us out of the dirt. He calls us back to the reality of nature and how that can speak to us on so many different levels. We are to work together to see God's mission accomplished. Good work Keith. I love you
Mac,
You've been tagged. Dish it up.
Nice metaphors... it's amazing how as life gets more an more technologically modern, agrarian metaphors retain an intimate and perhaps more immediate connection to the spiritual... which is hard to replicate with modern forms. Perhaps because so much of what we have in modern times we view as man-made (rather than God-made, and simply repackaged by man).
Natural, dirty, agrarian metaphors help keep us humble I think. Thanks.
Gave up my cabbage dinner but it was worth it. Got paired with someone I didnt really want to be paired with. Guess what, most enlightning conversation I ve had since moving to this state... Had a blast
