at the edge...

i feel like i ought to have a monkees song as my background soundtrack today...'something tells me i'm up to something good...' at least i think that was the monkees. tonight i spend time on the drake campus, handing out ridiculously bright green schedule cards, meeting people, and hopefully beginning relationships with students and leaders that might want to check out veritas (our partnership w/ redeemer lutheran, church plant/outreach deal). i've NEVER done anything even remotely like this, ever. and it feels like i'm at the edge -- a boat, a cliff, a river, you name it. tonight is the first step off that edge. veritas launches on the 9th, less than 2 weeks away. yikes! but it's not a scary yikes, even though i think maybe it should be? rather, it's an excited, i've got a gut feeling this could be an interesting and really profound season of faith and life for me, my family, and the friends i rope into helping out with this little venture. it's God's doing, His leading, and His deal. i'm blessed, amazed, and as always, thankful to be along for the ride.

pray for hearts to move, for people (especially drake students and neighborhood folk) to be drawn to what we are feeling God ask us to do...

lastly...anyone got a funky old couch and maybe a floor lamp or 2? we need these for the set up...

thanks for reading, friends. i hope today finds you on the edge of something new, exciting, frightening, and that you are ready to step out into God's plan with abandon!
