A week and half, since my last post… the time for resting is drawing to a close. As I find myself back in Central Oregon, back in Bend, I am reminded more and more the purpose, the promises, the hope and vision for what will be. As I listen, I hear reminders from God’s spirit ringing and echoing… growing in waves.

You are here to tell the stories.

To quicken the heart and glisten the eye.

Life on life, story on story… people transformed as you get out of the way

and let things happen

Breathe deep the fresh wind of the Spirit.

Take joy in the kingdom of the Christ.

Love and hospitality spill over.

Faces glow as hearts beat faster

As inner vision grows clearer and what will be draws closer to what is.
