I just posted my final trip update… click here

here is where I spent an hour and a half waiting for a bus after I discovered that the train didn’t go the full distance…

note to self, no matter what the ticket says, the train sign says…

the end of the line…

I asked the station master… “Subotica?”

His response: “nema”

I just laughed out loud and walked on…

Just gotta love travelin…

someone tweeted this:

“if one person talking to people sitting in lines of chairs was going to change the world, wouldn’t we have fixed things by now?”

The author is talking about church… now, I am not, like some of my well respected friends, ready to throw out the church as it is, but I agree that change is necessary… 

what do you think?

oh, if you saw the tweet, let us know via comment who started this line of thinking… thx

upon my return to Bp, I took the metro from the railway station and then waited for a bus, this was my view as I waited…

I was off line for three days… so this is what I would have posted a few days ago… a new tram line with a new tram to serve the people of Szeged… very smooth indeed…

I found Eugene Peterson’s memoir very helpful. The story of his life journey is helpful because Peterson uses stages of life and experiences to teach lessons. I was fascinated by hos journey from being academia bound to being a pastor. He talks about calling in the context of experience. But I think the two most helpful things one might take from this are his descriptions of the collaboration of people of faith and the stories of how people grew into their understanding and belief in Jesus. The bell that rang most true for me was the moving out of the “Badlands” which included a deeper understanding of what Sabbath really is. Is Sabbath important to you?

Scot McKnight’s thoughts on the WHOLE Gospel really rang true to me. To understand that the whole Gospel is not just a plan of salvation but is an understanding of God’s greater plan. God interacts with us in the Creation, Fall and Redemption story.
