It has been a quiet month following the concert. We spent some time relaxing, took a week off to spend with Taylor to get her ready for the school year, and pretty soon life drifted back to “normal” with the busyness of work. Last week Anna and I shared about our experience in doing the concert, and I was struck by how the concert became a “shared journey” for many who were involved. It truly was a “shared experience” in the deepest sense of the words.
Many have asked me when the next show will be. For me, the real question is where will the next steps in the journey lead. Lately I have been rethinking the message of the Bible and it occured to me that the one central motif or theme that runs through the entire Bible is that of a journey. Looking at this familiar book through this new set of “lens” have for me opened up new exciting possibilities in understanding what it’s saying.
In the next little while I will be trying to do something that I am VERY excited about 
Over the years I’ve had (younger ) friends whom for various reasons have stopped attending church. I’ve always suspected that for them it wasn’t an issue of laziness or not wanting to go, as much as they are in search of something else, something…”more”. I will be meeting with a few of them over a few weeks to explore this “journey” motif of the Bible and see how it speaks to our individual journeys, and perhaps we can join with each other in search of a “new expression of an ancient faith”, a faith that is not defined or bound by the walls of traditions or institutions. I am TRULY looking forward to what we will discover together with and from each other! I will be posting some of my thoughts from these “Bible Discovery Discussion” in the new few posts. Stay tuned!
