About Me
Quote
"We sense that something magnificent is afoot. We are intrigued by the chaos. We are willing to risk significant change in order to create local expressions of the kingdom of God that are burning with missional passion and practice. We want to explore the meaning of the chaos, the vision of a preferred future, the challenge of being "church."

Man From Snowy River...Grace, you are truly a woman with taste.

If you love Biblical fiction, you MUST get Anne Rice's new novel, "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt". Run, don't walk!
Peace,
Jamie

Good answers fr'nklin. I left you a comment at your blog.
Thanks for participating. Did you like all three of the Lord of the Rings movies? I only _loved_ the first one.
David,
We watched them one after another, so to me, they just seemed like parts of one long movie. I'd probably have to see them a few more times to pick a favorite of the three.
By the time we finished the three, I could do a perfect gollam (sp?), creeped my hubby and kids out. I went around for days saying "my precious."
