Note that I have a new blog/link list! The obsession with the Emergent Movement and Christian history waxes and wains with me (unlike my love affair with Jesus), but occasionally I will find a book, church, conversation, or website that rekindles my interest. In this case, I discovered this podcast on itunes. Meet Homebrewed Christianity . They feature interviews by different people influencing the Emergent Movement including Phyllis Tickle, Tony Jones, Peter Rollins, etc.
Plus Tripp and Chad are worthy entertainers and theologians themselves. Check it out.
The EmergentSpeak blog/link list will feature websites and blogs that are worth taking the time to check in on every so often. mypeople contains a few of these fellow Emergents (Blake, Greg, and Tyler...whatsup!) as well. I love the Emergent Movement. It speaks to my inner postmodern child that somehow grew strong regardless of the fact that I grew up in small town biblebelt southernBaptist world. SO funny. SO true. Anyway, Thank you GOD for the Emergent Movement and what it has meant for my soul and spirit.

A Gathering
As you know, my family participates in home church, but occasionally a few of us attend other local church events to learn, experience and grow. We attended a gathering of Followers 2 weeks ago that was very fresh. They were gathered in attempts to imulate a first century church experience like that of the New Testament (like we do, but a little bit larger group with a very specific ministry). The desire for the "church" was: for everyone to have open access to all parts of church (to question things, to figure out how things work and why and how), that all things are free, that people should be judged by their fruit only (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) and not by any external, to allow and be radically transparent, to decentralize leadership because accumulating power (wealth, hierarchy) is contradictory to Christ, to represent a Christian community by being honest and beautiful (to include the arts in their worship and life), to attempt to change the world for the better because God's love is justice. I must also point out that saying 'everyone has a voice, so speak up' means that everyone's voice has influence, so words should be chosen carefully.
We sang Sacred Heart style (which means as loudly and vulnerably as you can) the Trishagion. Then, because it was the groups first time to meet, we all went around and shared what "church" means to us or we feel is important to "church". There were some wonderful thoughts and quotes! Here's a few:
1. church doesn't have to be formal. a conversation exalting Christ with a brother or sister can be church.
2. it's important for people to try to have open ears and not be easily offended, but attempt to see through eyes of love.
3. worship through diversity is impactful. knowing that you are surrounded by people in the world who don't speak the same language or come from the same culture, but that are driven by one foundation (Christ) is beautiful and we should embrace that.
4. Church is the most beautiful and most compromised thing he'd ever known, and he would love to leave, but where would he go?
5. Church is people being open and sharing. Much like an AA meeting. We are all recovering from sin.
6. Church should be family. Church should be without fear. Church should be safe. Church should be an interaction with the heart of God.
7. In the New Testament, we know only that the church gathered, sang, listened, taught, and ate.
8. Church should do unto the least of these.
9. In America it is difficult to identify yourself as a community rather than an individual. I would love the church to help me identify myself as a people rather than a person.
10. I believe in the Bible. I believe in all kinds of things. But the only thing that has ever changed me is: Being loved. Over time.
11. I think church should be a snapshot of heaven.
12. The church is a whore, but she is my mother.
13. The church is a conspiracy of people who have dreams and need each other to make our dreams come true.
Some of this stuff is precious and rings truth in my ears. Some of it, I'm not so sure about. I would love to hear any reactions or thoughts...

Sanspointe Dance Performance
Steph said it, but I concur...This will be one of the most precious memories of Aleza ever.
Rae was performing for Sanspointe, this beautiful, abstract, freestyle dance, inspired by life and motherhood and the beauty of womanhood. Aleza was accompanying the crew, and there has never been a more beautiful 5 year old aprentice. Clearly Aleza was doing what she was created to do. Truely, Aleza exudes dance. She loves to create costumes, dressup, and perform. Yesterday she told me she is debuting an origional piece in Birmingham at her home this weekend. I can't wait to see it!




Way to go Rae...You are creating a little dance monster and she is destined to be a woman full of life, love, freedom, beauty, peace, harmony, and movement.

Props to My People
Okay, the love is bubbling over again, and I have to tell my three best gal pals how much I love and adore them. Stephanie, Rachael and Cassie...You complete me. haha. Actually, it is so funny. I was the American dream exemplified not too long ago, except that I didn't have a posse. And now you people have wiggled your way into my life, and I finally have a crew of my own.
But these three women inspire and excite me so much because they are truly amazing! Beyond amazing. Just let me be cheezy just a frickin minute please and tell the world what makes you crazies so damn cool...

1. Steph. I know you think I only love you for your body, but really, there are so many other reasons too. You really can tell a story like no body's dang business. And, really, I laugh just thinking about your laugh...and the way you make me laugh. You always know great places to go on vacation or go explore, you are my sister in desperate punctuality, laid-back-ness, and you know how to just sit and hang out better than anybody. One thing I love to hate about you is that you are so dang smart. I just freaking can't keep up. And one thing I hate to love is that you could debate with a wall and have it questioning whether it's really a wall or not. See, too dang smart.
World, here's what you need to know about my girl Stephanie: She's the beautiful girl in the center of the room being the life of the party, making everyone laugh with all her fun stories, making every guy want her because her idea of fun is making a fire in the middle of nowhere looking like the Au natural granola girl with the do rag on her head after she just shot a bear or something outdoorsy like that...But at home, she's the picture of strength, taking everything in stride (whether it's big stuff like finding out your unexpectedly pregnant with twins...or the small stuff, like welcoming in the friends that show up at 9pm for some conversation and a sit, while your single-handedly trying to get the boys fed, bathed, and in bed.) You may not can lift the bar in the gym, but, girl, you are strong as an ox on the inside, and I love love love love love you.

2. Rae. You have become closer than a sister. I can share stuff with you like I can no one else because, with you, there is no such things as shallow. If it ain't deep and it ain't personal, then it ain't anything worth anythang. Because of that, you challenge me, inspire me, mellow me, teach me, learn from me, make me laugh, make me cry, and make me dance, which is what life is anyway, right?
World, here's what you need to know about Rachael. She is the wild, beautiful, fun, artist who knows everything there is to know about art and life and dance and culture and celebration and community. And what she can't explain, she just lives. She can make a thrift store tshirt look like Armani and give it an equally fashionable name to go along with it. Her house is the hang out because she has a way of making people family the first time they come over, and she puts people before stuff. And even though, sometimes she's messy (her hair, her kitchen, whatever) it's in that great way that makes you feel more comfortable to be who you are because you know you have just come into contact with someone who is individual, confident, free, and beautiful, so you can be that way too. One warning for those of you who have a Rachael in your life...you can be yourself with her and feel free and have fun, just be careful going out with her, because she will be the one that everyone is staring at.

3. Cass. One of my oldest friend. We hit it off early, like the very day you moved to Cullman in the 8th grade, we became best friends. I love you for being my little firecracker. Seriously you have more energy than a protein bar, and you always motivate and encourage me whether we're running or parenting or growing in faith. And speaking of encourager. You are the encourager. Literally, I know no one who can give and receive compliments with such sincerity and depth like you do.
World, here's what you need to know about Cassie. She's the hot as fire ball of energy who likes to keep things analyzed and practical. If you need something done, she will get it done, or help you get it done, with a smile on your face, feeling like you just conquered the world. She will be your most sincere teacher, coach, or student depending on the phase of life, and hold your hand if you just need a good cry. She is amazing at telling you exactly what is on her mind and doesn't hold back, but also keeps things positive, graceful, and eloquent. World, if you don't have a Cassie in your life, you need to run out and find one.
Anyway, I don't know how a silly little girl like me got to be friends with all you very cool folks, but I am touched... no...moved... no... honored to have been adopted by ya'll and call you now family. Just amazing. Each one of you add such fruit to my life. Yummy, tasty, healthy, strong fruit. Like a pomegranate or a cranberry or something. You get the point, which is, I LOVE YOU!!

Top 3 people I want to say THANKS to this week...
I have been thinking for some time that I want to use my blog to thank people in my world who I don't tell enough, but couldn't live without. I feel like I say thank you a lot, but for some reason, saying thanks just isn't always enough. So I hope to periodically post it here how much you mean to me for the whole world to see.
1.)
It's only appropote that my #1 thanks on my #1 'thanks' blog goes to my #1! My best friend. We have rarely left each other's side in the last 9 years, know everything about each other, and love each other more now than we ever have. No matter what, we will always be. I can't even start to name all I want to thank him for, but he knows already, thankfully.
2.)
Thanks to you for thinking my children hung the moon. Being such a vital part of the village raising them. Helping us make sure they not only receive the best education Birmingham has to offer, but also win their very first fund raisers, and do it in style, wearing the best looking things from GAP and Landsend. Thanks for helping us keep them safe on the road and in a comfy bed every night. Thanks for singing them songs and telling them stories. For everything, thanks.
3.)
Thank you for being the person in my life who has known me the longest and still calls me every day. Thank you that I can always be honest with you, and you always love me anyway. Thank you for thinking I am the funniest human alive even though, clearly, I am not. Thank you for letting me be your baby doll and treating me beautiful while we play dress up. Thank you for being such an amazing grandmother treating my babies as if your very next breath depends on their happiness. Thank you for being the most sacrificial person I have ever known always giving, but also teaching me to take care of myself, and when we fail, still just giving, giving, giving.

Church of the Day
I don't "go to" church anymore, but someplace this cool almost makes me wish I did. FYI, the speaker is Peter Rollins, so that adds a touch of awesomeness to the scene.

Okay, I am not gonna lie. I have never been a big fan of the Bible. I know that clearly sounds like heresy, but it's true! I mean, I have had a pure admiration for it, but just never understood it. The Message translation came along and helped a little bit, but by that time I had so much frustration, it was difficult to even pick it up anymore. I have read all kinds of books to help me try to understand Scripture, but have mostly resolved to rely on the holy spirit's guidance much like Christians did before the New Testament was published, or the illiterate Christians Jeane Guyon discipled.
I have read one book recently, however, that has totally changed my perspective of the New Testament. The Untold Story of the New Testament by Frank Viola. It helps me understand the culture, see things through Paul's (and all the 1st century Christian's) eyes, etc. Read with the New Testament, it is very much an impactful narrative that has you in tears by the end. I want to (have to)go back and read it again, and keep going deeper. It's like I just received a degree in New Testament or something. Seriously.

here is fellow blogger, Lionel Wood's, review:
Viola Frank. The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: An Extraordinary Guide to Understanding the New Testament . Destiny Image Publishers , 2005. pp. 208. $10.04
Frank Viola author of Pagan Christianity, Rethinking the Wineskin and now Reimagining Church has provided the Body of Christ a Gem in this work. The book sets out to put the New Testament in Chronological order, filling in gaps, and helping the reader of the New Testament to see, smell, touch and hear what our 1st century brothers and sisters would have experienced during the time the “Church” is being built by Jesus Christ through the work of the Spirit in the lives of the Apostles and others.
The book succeeds greatly at that in my opinion. As I was reading many of the events I had memorized through the book of Acts and the Epistles are displayed in panoramic view. It is like I am there, walking with Paul and Silas, on the ships with Luke and Paul, in Ephesus with Timothy. My heart is burdened with Paul as he writes these letters to the churches he has risked to plant. As the Corinthians reject his apostleship. As the Galatians are hoodwinked by the Judiazers, as the Thessalonians are troubled by those who claim the resurrection has happened, as Titus is struggling to keep the Church at Crete afloat, as John writes to Asia Minor about the “anti-Christs” who have snuck in, as Timothy wants to quit and abandon the gift that he received to continue the work started in him, as Paul writes Philemon about Onesimus and the Colossians about gnosticism and Peter attempts to encourage those who are suffering greatly under the Neroan tyranny. I am there and tears are in my eyes as I am encouraged to see that the same things they struggled with we struggle with.
Frank Viola does an amazing job getting you there and his writing style keeps you captivated. As you go back open your bible to follow the story. You have to keep your bible close by because you will say “I never saw that” and it makes it that much more exciting. You see the Apostolic assistants and church planters write Paul as a wise dad. Paul responds with great insight and wisdom. Which is impossible without the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit. Christ saw this coming and the scriptures are written before your very eyes.
I will say there is much interpretation as the Epistles are written in narrative form. But that was okay for me. I am secure in many of my positions and for those which were challenged I am open to reform. I am pretty sure I will change my position another 100 times before my death and I am secure in the Gospel. But again there is much interpretation in the book so be prepared if you read. Some who read here that are New Testament History buffs may disagree with the chronology of the book and that is okay also.
I recommend this book for EVERY Christian who wants to attempt to understand the New Testament. We see the NT epistles as a response to the maturation of the Church of Christ. We get to understand why Paul tells the Galatians to cut the entire sexual organ off if circumcision is a benefit. We see Paul directing Timothy to sit the women down in Ephesus and Corinth (funny the other churches wouldn’t have known much about this). Once again the book was a gem and I recommend you have this book or something along its line right with your Bible Dictionaries, Greek NT, Concordance and Commentaries.

By the way, the Viola book, Pagan Christianity, that I set out to read and blogged about forever ago, is awesome too! Such perspective on "church" and Christianity as we know it today, and it will blow your socks off some of the practices we blindly take part in! Actually, quite scary! Definately worth the time spent reading.

Read this Book

Okay, Fundamentalists, Ready for a Challenge? Read this book!
Actually, I haven't read it yet. Blake is monopolizing it right now (check out his blog for highlights), but I can't wait. This book is so exciting for me because it absolutely speaks to the resounding gong inside my spirit! The part that is prone to non-conformity and non-traditionalism, and the part that wants to know exactly what I believe to be big T truth and WHY! (The number of things on that list keep dwindling to very few.) Viola and Barna are extremely respected in fact finding circles, so I expect to learn where certain church traditions came from, such as meeting in a building, hearing a sermon by a paid clergy member,etc. etc., what the bible really says and the context. Anyone interested?
Anywho, stay tuned for more of my thoughts, but anyone who would like to join my book club and read it with me, please step up and let a sister know! Hopefully I get to start within a week of this posting.
