Yeah, I needed the reminder myself. Too often I bring home stuff that needs to be left at work or just outside the door. Appreciate your comment.

This is something I have always struggled with. I have been guilty of bringing to much negativity into my home that originated somewhere else. Thanks for the reminder to leave it at the door.

I am still chewing on it myself. It amazes me how children make you think about things you never really thought about before.

That is a powerful concept. It is just ink until the human imagination renders it otherwise. I don't have anything fancy to say, but that is worth chewing on for a while.

Comment on Sowers Storying Circles by bivomin

Hi Cindy,

Our storyteller circles form around one idea that is to become better storytellers. Our group has some ground rules but basically to join our circle you just have to be interested in storytelling. Though we have had interest from people in other parts of the world the only group we have started is located locally. However, a group can be started anywhere by anyone who has an interest in storytelling, even on the Internet.

Storytelling is a forgotten art in North America. Everybody has a story to tell. However, not everybody knows how to tell their story and tell it well.

Jesus is the Master storyteller.
For more information on what we would like to see happen we started a group on facebook last year.

Blessings. Rob

I agree Richard. Too often we settle for mediocre. God wants more for us and from us.

Comment on Old Baggage – Inclusive or Exclusive by bivomin

Thanks for your comment Doug. Over the last number of years I have been taking note of some of the things that tend to exclude people rather than include them.

Also, I have known many house churches that break up through lack of structure and other reasons. There is a lot of prayer and thought going into how best to nuture, connect and multiply healthy organic churches.
