Here's an interesting video from Brian McLaren. Several of you know that the Kingdom has been a starting point for some long reflection on my part. This is our planned topic for TAB this week. Any initial thoughts? Chris
Well, here it is. The glorious or somewhat questionable embark on a weblog of growing into who we are at a time when we don't know what to expect or what to plan for. All this while reevaluating who we need to lean on and how much, and struggling with things spiritual, political, personal, and communal. It's hard to know what to make of it. One thing I know for sure is that we're called into community to help each other with these strivings. So what is it that we need? What do we want? How general and mysterious can I be?
In all reality, I'm pretty convinced about the community thing. That's really the reason we're starting this blog--giving us more opportunity to connect about the things that we struggle with, the things we love, and the things that amaze us. And to open up the conversation. Each of us have a voice and a unique perspective. Each new perspective brings a depth and richness that is completely invaluable.
Thanks in advance for sharing yourself and blessing us all. Chris
We're glad you're here. This blog is kind of a spilling over of conversation of young adults that have connected through St. John Lutheran Church in Cedar Falls, Iowa. We're excited to explore thoughts and encourage each other as we're all trying to figure out who we are (especially at this stage of life). Post your comments or send email chris@stjohncf.org to start a new conversation!
What's with the name QuarterLife Plot? Think about a garden plot. The idea is that this is a place where new insights can break through the surface and take root in each of us. Sometimes stuff just needs a good place to grow.
I am about as irregular a blogger as you get. Bits and pieces all over the place. Right now I'm most active on Tumblr ( http://hereticalworship.tumblr.com/ ) so keep up with me there!
