00559

there are several thresholds, or important markers, in a church planting endeavor (probably more that i even realize). for us, one was just getting us all here...and this has been an exciting process to watch everyone start to get settled and make some initial discoveries about where the will "fit" in our new community. the next big one is going to be september 8th when ctk durango goes "public." in the meantime we are meeting tons of people who seem to be interested in what we are doing. a big moment will be when a "local" joins us for worship. once that happens i think a lot of things are going to start taking off.

in other news it looks like i should have a roommate by the end of the month which is going to be huge.

finally, i've been reading through some of the "classic" (lots of quotes in this post) books that have shaped my thinking and are in some ways responsible for this adventure! last night i was reading some Velvet Elvis by rob bell...so here's my deep thought for the day, courtesy of rob bell (paraphrased by me): "i knew it was time [to start the church] when i no longer cared if it was 'successful.' better to try and fail, because at least you are being true to yourself."
