I am so tired. We had staff retreat this week and not much sleep was had by me and then I had another late night last night. I am sitting in the office getting excited about finishing work and going home to sleep all afternoon. I am very excited about the TEAR conference next weekend and hanging out with my beautiful sister. Marcus and I had some chats yesterday about possible ideas for the stations workshop thing Urban Seed is invoved with at TEAR. I hope Marcus goes with some of my ideas. He is more creative than me though and has been doing this stuff for awhile so we will see what happens. Our theme is ”the kingdom of God, in heaven as on earth.” Pretty broad topic. I think the Kingdom of God on earth is like the trees that grow in the desert. In such a harsh environment as the desert one would think nothing could grow but life springs up all over the place. That is the Kingdom of God. Despite the realities of the harshness of earth, it is growing itself here.
