home again

just got back from the emergent gathering in santa fe (at glorieta no less!). great food, beautiful days, significant (and not) conversation, time with friends old and new, and lots of God on display everywhere.
there's lots to talk about, but it's late so i will say for tonight that it is a wonderful thing to spend time among people with similair heartbeats. to be able to have conversations about life and faith and God and church where no one thinks our church is odd or that i am liberal or confused or rebellious or whatever. to not have to spend hours explaining the worldview / mindset from which i come. it felt good.
lots more to come soon.
off to my own bed.
