Kingdom Workshop
I thought I would stoke the blog fire here by saying thank you. Mike is busy writing a book so his posting is sketchy and it may take days for him to throw it up here.
This weekend our little band held a kingdom workshop. We hosted new friends, old friends and visiting friends. It was a wonderfully encouraging time. It was interesting to realize how many people keep up with the story of our journey here on this blog and never comment or let us know they are there. Like our new friend Brian who has been reading for years and never let us know but had the courage to come to our little kingdom gathering. We want you to know that we really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Honestly, it is ok to send Mike and I an email and let us know who you are and what you do. Actually that feeling you may have to reach out may be a prompting from the Holy Spirit for much deeper reasons…so I encourage you to act on it! This journal allows us to connect with so many, so if you have been reading and watching for awhile and ever thought "I'd like to tell them hi but I am a little nervous to reach out." I am calling you out. Drop us a line or give us a call.
Lastly, a deep heartfelt thanks to our visiting friends from Gainesville who blessed us with their lives and their giftings. We are better for it. Much better in fact but that may be lost in blog translation.
Blessings to all who read in the deepest core of yourself. Your dreams and your passions are good and I challenge you to go for it! The Kingdom of God is waiting for your expression…… so jump in! The water is great.

I can't begin to thank all of you enough for making me feel welcome and included in your community.God is so good!Amber,thank you for praying for me and ministering to me with the precious spirit God has given you.The last 2 days have been filled with "God-incidences".One example: my friend Ron(who had a massive stroke a year ago)came into church yesterday and sat down next to me.He is a living miracle.Can I say I'm pretty sure that I was supposed to pray for him? I believe with all my heart that the Holy Spirit connected with Ron's spirit and it was such an incredible privilege to be a part of that.Words fail me...Thank you all and know that you are in my prayers.

Cool. I was wonderng if the old 'kingdom workshop' flame that sorta fizzled more than a year ago was ever going to be rekindled. God has his timing, doesn't he? Its very pleasant to see it happen. I look forward to hearing more about it. I keep meaning to call Bish in the evenings but that is a crazy time for me unless I call after 9:30 which is 11:30 for you. Ugh! Catch you soon.
Much love!
Your blog and your story of your community is important to me... I found my way onto your blog through reading palmer's Journal.
Our family is in the midst of doing church simply with 5 other families and I've learned a lot from reading your story. Thanks for offering what you've learned.

I have been reading your story for over two years. We are on a simple church story ourselves. We set out to plant out a church and in the process realized that we were the church. It has been an amazing 2 1/2 years unlearning and relearning all the time. It is so good to read how God is leading your friends/family/community/church on the way of the Kingdom. I almost feel a part of you. :)
Thanks so much for all of your comments. It is interesting how blogging really allows so many people to feel a part of things going on all over the world.
From our community to all of yours, many blessings as you walk forward in the way that God is leading you. Know that like minded friends are only a "click" away. If you ever need prayer or support in any way, don't hesitate to send an email or give a call. You are not alone!
If any of you will be at thin space in Cincy next weekend seek us out. We would love to connect face to face.
