Gill... Allison Gill

Allison Gill gave me a word on Tuesday night at Large Group, that was worth pondering and sharing. In response to certain conversations and e-mails, she encouraged me that it was God, not my efforts, that would make "the difference." In reality, I wasn't that stressed or feeling particularly burdened, though certainly passionate (do I come in a non-zealous version?), but I definitely want to step back and not dismiss that word at all, because she's right. Regardless of whether or not I felt the burden of the world crushing me or was relatively indifferent, her word was essentially "continue to have a heart for God's Kingdom, but rely on Him for it. Don't take it upon yourself, or feel that you must (or even can) do it all yourself." It's a good word, and perhaps moreso because I didn't immediately recognize it's relevance, I really want to grapple with what God is saying there. Just thought I'd share...

Also, while I still like the bit on "ultimate concern", I no longer am that big a fan of Paul Tillich.

I can't wait to go camping with Brian, Brendan, Becky and other cool people whose names unfortunately don't start with "B"

Just as much, I can't wait to play board games with some Journeyers, Whitties, and just Cool Peeps come Monday and Tuesday.

Of course I pray everyone travels to and fro very safely this weekend.

Remind me to start my thesis...

Can you even imagine how cool Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be on Gamecube, masterquest version? I certainly can't, it's beyond me: but I can't wait to find out!

I think I'm about as cool as it gets, so... bye.
