They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated-- 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. 40 God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. Yeah, rocket kids. Hebrews 11:37 They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword.

Yeah, rocket kids.

You've blogged often about the rise and implementation of ideas that didn't hold up. One example: we're tired of liturgy and autopliot, we get contemporary p & w. Now that's empty and formulamatic, the old liturgy is better. * sigh * Never throw a bucket of water on rocketkid but steer his trajectory. My radical idea is asking God what He wants. (interesting photo, alas, the moon shouldn't be there. A full moon never rises or sets in a sky like that.)
