had a great evening… dinner with my ReImagining friends… chicken souvlaki from Homer’s, which was particularly delicious tonight…

then, a great discussion about how we can get stuck in any one of seven stages throughout our lives and that the right stage for me might not be the right stage for you…

that brought the conversation around to the fact that twenty years ago (to the day) we travelled to Minneapolis for the first ReImagining Conference… it was an amazing gathering of 2200 people with presentations by theologians from around the world…

we were a small group tonight but enjoyed the conversation and how we have changed and grown over the last twenty years… before we went (about 20 of us, if I remember correctly), we spent many weeks reviewing videos by those who would be presenting at the event… it was something that none of us will ever forget…

then I got dropped off at the office to pick up my car and got stuck in the Jets traffic as the game just finished a few moments before I got into the car… thought I was being very clever to get a ride from work and only have to drive from downtown to home… too funny… took well over half an hour to make a trip that should take 15 minutes tops…

as we were sitting in the car on our friend’s street we noticed snowflakes… just a few, and the sky was quite overcast… made me think of the lovely sky yesterday morning when I first got up…

lovely patterns in the sky yesterday morning…
