Random thought, but remember the song Blaine and I used to dance to at the Community Building “Teen Town”? Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence”!

I love silence, and I crave it. Then I relish it for about two hours before I’m wishing for the noise again. This principle is also why I’ve heard writers shouldn’t quit their day jobs unless it becomes absolutely necessary. Writing is frustratingly solitary – having something to say requires a crowd. So typical of life.

This is lovely. I want to see today in the scriptures too, and things like this help me grow that ability!

Hope is a wonderful word. And I actually like the idea that we carry our words with us longer than one year. It does, after all, take longer than twelve months to grow into the things we want to be.

Ruth – that is interesting! I think each generation should value the good things from a previous generation. (and throw out the stuff where we were way off!) Then the current generation will build on those things and go even higher up and deeper in that we did in those days.

That passage in Genesis has been living on me for most of last year…the redigging the same wells and giving them the same names is deep stuff! One thing we’ve done this with (very intentionally) is the Fire meeting on Friday nights. Jeremy and I have for a long time wanted the young people in our church to have what we had in that meeting when we were high school/Bible college age. So we have redug (that’s a weird word) that well and, like I said, intentionally given it the same name our fathers did. The name may change down the road, but for now, that well is still called Fire. Another thing I think is interesting is that for you, Kathy, the wells of your fathers are things like the old hymns (which are awesome, btw; can’t be Mona Veatch’s daughter and not love hymns), but as God has been speaking to me about the same Scripture, the wells of MY fathers are the “praise choruses” and the “Holy Ghost shuffle”. : ) I want the crazy moving of God’s Spirit and intense worship and a prophetic life. The deep stuff I long for is what you guys helped pioneer. Isn’t that an interesting twist?
