It was a long day.  Off The Map Live was challenging yet again!  This isn’t your normal SBC conference.  It wasn’t bad just different.  I have been exposed again to different thinking.  The different thinking isn’t bad or wrong I would say but just different.   The way I would explain it is this….

Remember a time when I sat down with you and tried to explain this “new” thing, or new way of doing something.  You looked at me with that blank stare and thought to yourself, “is he serious?  There is no way that 1) it will work, and 2) that what he is saying is right.

Well that is where I am.  Here is an example….

The Bridge - this church is a little nuts but, I think they are on to something that is so good here.  I think that their work is being run and rerun on the highlight reel in heaven.  They are connecting with people that I am not connecting with.

The Refuge - this church was shaped by a guy, Carl Wheeler.  He was involved with Dare2Share.  This church too, from the sound of it, reaches those I am not reaching in the burbs.

I look forward to the last day of the conference.

At night we traveled to the island just off of Seattle.  Now that was really cool.  The only thing that could have made that better was if I had my family with me.
