She usually places in her age group and I usually think, "I should have trained a bit more!".   But I look forward to seeing your video of your next race!

MC’s are the primary vehicle for disciple making.(4) Mom/Dad are primary ministers to kids. And we should equip them. (3) Non-Christians know when you see them as a project. They should be objects of love instead of projects of evangelism. (2) Most groups seem to focus on knowing but need to work on the being/doing. (1)  We can’t accomplish what God has called us to without the power of the Holy Spirit. Good points!  I especially noticed: (5) You can’t effectively make disciples w/ Sunday only church.

I'm not calling Tacoma ugly or anything, but this video made me want to visit there soon. And I know as well that life isn't as perfect and clean as this video made it out to be. I don't think "perfection" was the image they meant to portray, but I see what you mean. And, yes, these guys are "all in". And it can happen and does happen. But I think these sorts of communities actually start there rather than a church decides to place some friends and friends of friends in a home together, shake them all up and perfect missional communities fall in place. It takes lots of intention, prayer, and buy in from all the people. Good to hear from you. Hope yall are doing well. Great points, Jenn.

This is what we attempt in our lifegroups, but are never able to achieve for many reasons. The scariest thing about this, for me, from experience, is that life isn't a beautifully shot film. The scenes in that looked picture perfect, but I know that people's lives are messy, and some people's lack of boundaries can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. Also, a church community has a hard time functioning like this because not everyone is devoted to doing this 100%. It seems like you'd have to be "all the way in" in order to be a part of a community like this. So-I love this, yet I am pessimistic that it can happen. I have experienced this in many small ways at our church though, and even though it's messy sometimes, it is a beautiful thing. God changes lives through relationships. We are called to be brave enough to jump in. Wow-this really moved me. This is what we attempt in our lifegroups, but are never able to achieve for many reasons.
