Gettin' Real

I spent tonight with six other amazing spiritual beings who chose to get really real with each other. This is a community I want to share my life with! They desire to put aside all pretense and be their God created selves - sucesses, failures, experiments...all of it thrown into the stew as seasoning.

It reminds me of an Open Door sermon by Stefan VanVoorst. He had a secret that he shared that day (I can't divulge it, because I promised not to - go to www.thedoor.org and order his sermon tape to find out more). I also promised not to laugh at Stefan for the content of his secret. That is what this little community desires - a space that offers the freedom and the safety of knowing we can try anything in the world, share any secret longing - and these people will not laugh at each other because we want to try, because we might fail, because we just might be crazy enough to make it work...

I think the bus might be slowing down....looks like it might be about to turn off onto this gravel trail just off to the left....not sure where we'll end up, but I sure hope my new friends don't get off at the next rest stop.
