join the {CONVERSATION} this season
/
We are about to enter into a conversation!
A lively, real, exchange.
An exchange between you & God.
And hopefully that conversation will overflow into others around you.
We call it pondering. It is an ongoing conversation with God & others.
An exchange!
Did you know the word {PRAYER} literally means “to exchange”?
prós - "towards, exchange"
euxe - "a wish, prayer"
—an exchange of wishes!
In a conversation there is room.
There is SPACE.
Space for belief. Space for doubting.
Space for Him to be seen and heard.
A few of us have been pondering one word at at time for a few years.
Giving words SPACE. Staying on them…
Not for study sake. But for “hanging on for dear life” sake!
Otherwise known as [abiding]. Staying connected and remaining in words we see and hear.
This movement of words has spread - not via internet.
But via conversation. Person to person.
The last two years I have posted online to a few during the 40 days of Lent.
So here we go. Year 3. (Past posts are not online anymore. They will be coming to you in a new format on our new website. Stay tuned!)
A specific period of time with a specific focus. Leading us to a specific time of year…
A conversation that prepares us for the mourning of the crucifixion and the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
Conversation. Experience.
You will hear the word {experience} a lot on this site.
We only post to give you prompts to dig into words and experience conversation, music, creation, art… first hand!
So… here’s the invitation!
A {call} - the Greek word means {an invitation}
A call to words within the context of conversation.
Words will take you to:
music
prayer
art
food
people
more conversation
And soon - a word that once you thought little of, will take on a life of its own.
Watch.
Listen.
Just show up.
Converse.
Ponder.
Join us!
