Splitting the cell. Hadn’t thought about the Body of Christ like an actual body that requires cells to split apart in order for it to grow and heal and replenish. And that is ultimately what became of our House Church.

When we met Sunday evening we had an awkward discussion about the past and present – a bit about the future, too – and had Andrea and I gone to such a meeting any earlier than Sunday, we would have not been in the best possible frame of mind to do what needed to be done.

Sunday night I came and left with a peace that I’ve not known in weeks – maybe a couple of months at that. Even now as I write I have peace about the HC situation, my marriage, where we will live, my career, etc. I can still be shaken, but I’m enjoying the peace of mind of knowing where to put absolute trust.

As it turns out, there might be a new HC emerging. Hope to write more on that as it develops. Right now it’s an idea.

My mind returns to C.S. Lewis’ Narnia, and it’s savior, Aslan. Some in Narnia say of Aslan, “He’s not a tame lion.” Goose bumps.

My head is spinning. Too much to put down in words right now – most of it good.

BTW… a note about who is reading this blog…

I thought I was being clever and responsible when I closed this down for a month or so in order to purge some readers whom had been hurt or disturbed or weirded-out by what I write here. And when I look at the stats here, 99% of the hits are coming from google searches for “obama funny” or “hotdogginit” or “safe eyes.” Very few hits – if any – are coming from Facebook or somewhere that I could identify as a friend reading it.

Then a brother (hey!) told me he’s been keeping up with this blog via RSS feed, and I hadn’t thought of that. So I guess what I’m saying is that I am thankful for the 1-2 people who have contacted me through this dark season of life because of something they read here.
