Life Teams
So, our church has a cool new program going titled "Life Teams." I think it was began as a way to encourage us to purposefully explore what is going on in our lives and the lives of others spiritually. Basically you become part of a life team and somehow during the week your team discusses the question of the week. My life team is a texting group.
Last week was our launch. Honestly I was not sure what type of a spiritual experience texting would be - no face to face contact, short messages - you know. . .how Godly does that sound?
Wow! Was I completely blown away. The whole week was full of messages and realizations that really "stoked my spiritual fire." And this week is off to an incredible start also.
But here is my problem - I have so much flying around in my head that I cannot possibly put it in a text and I am pretty sure all my facebook friends are not interested in long, rambling things either. Where to put my thoughts that others could also put theirs - my long unused blog!!!
That would be where you now find me. Trying to set up something to share my thoughts on the question for the week and hoping like crazy that others will respond - because that is where God really starts revealing himself in new ways. If you want to play - awesome! If not, I'm good with that too.
I will post the question on Sunday or Monday and probably ramble throughout the week. The only kicker may be that I think you will have to create an account to reply. But, hey, I could be wrong about that.
Please also be aware that I may post random stories that have nothing to do with the life team thing. I will label all life team posts as such, that should help you find them.
Life team question of the week:
When do you experience, or have experienced, God's presence in creation?
Because life is good.

I experience God's presence in creation when I can sit in a quiet place and look up into the branches and leaves of a big tree. An early summer morning on my back porch, or a break between classes at Phillips one summer (a long time ago) is the perfect opportunity to "be still and know" that God is God and to "feel" His presence.
I don't go to the same church as you, so thanks for posting so others can ponder these questions too.
I don't have a Google account, but it looks like I can choose to be anonymous/no account and just sign this "Blessed"
