  spend some time with some other men from the church my wife and i planted couple years ago. urlLink quest has been a dream church for us. by no means is it perfect and free from hurt or growing pains but the closest thing to community for us. exciting and humbling how god is unfolding the story of the community at quest. anyway, went fishing with these men.
hung out. talked. laughed. made fun of each other and as i see it, through our very lives and our commitment to live out those lives, learned how to be better fishers of people. an interesting lesson for me i thought. we caught zero fish amongst four men (technically one but george song blew the retrieval and the rest is history), and yet, there was much to be joyful for. simply, joy to be in the together. joy to be in the midst of creation. joy to be amongst god's creation. i need to relax if 'spiritual fishing' isn't going as hot as i want to it to -- whatever that means. god needs to continue and i need to submit to the deconstruction of success in my mind. it doesn't have to equate to a big building, big budget, big congregation, or whatever big. i can be joyful to be amongst others, joyful to be in the midst of god's work, joyful to be part of god's work and certainly, joyful because GOD is. indeed, GOD is.
