One mo time. I'm very tired so I probably won't write much. Today was a pretty good day. Chuck Smith Jr., Todd Hunter, Roundtable discussions, workshops, more very cool music from this group Madison Green - good stuff. I'm bringing a CD home - agressive acoustic afro celtic - sharp. Also was in a workshop with and met Andrew Jones today - that was pretty cool. We had e-mailed and blogged back and forth but only "met" today. More talk on this "apprenticeship to Jesus" kind of being a Chrisitan - seems to be the underlying theology going on. It's good but I still (and I mentioned this today) want to bring the mystical union thing back into the equation. I think we don't want to lose that - that, to me, is what it is. All flows from that - and yes, it's about full and holistic transformation of the person.
After the thing closed down a good bunch of us went out for a "beer night out." Yes, that's right folks - mature Christian leaders out drinking beer - wow - is that really still an issue? Let's get past that please. Had a good time of connection with Jason Evans of Matthew's House in San Diego. We had a good talk. I'm glad we met like this. Mark, Aaron, Sef and I ate lunch with Andrew Careaga - that was a good time. He's doing some workshop tomorrow on something - good guy. More tomorrow perhaps - night night for now.
