a poem for us
Matt posted this on his blog - from the Northumbria Community in England. I post it as a poem and a prayer for the Community of Vine & Branches.
If you want your dream to be, build it slow and surely.
Small beginnings, greater ends. Heartfelt work grows purely.
If you want to live life free, take your time, go slowly.
Do few things, but do them well: simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone, build your secret slowly.
Day by day, you'll grow too; you'll know heaven's glory!

quarterly regional gathering time
OK, time for another cool quarterly regional gathering of folk at Vineyard Central in Cincinnati. You can check out the details here. If you haven't been to one of these deals, you really should try to make it if you live in the general regional area - it's in Cincinnati - you figure it out. This time the theme is Family - should be a good time - Saturday night - July 19th. See you there.
