Talks A Lot

I was readying to head out of the church today to attend our semi-annual Regional Board meeting. I told the church secretary where I was headed and for how long. She's not a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). She said, "you all like to talk a lot don't you?"

Yeah, I guess we do.

The work of the Holy Spirit among us begins with a conversation. The work of the church begins with a conversation as well. Conversation leads to understanding. Understanding has the possibility of leading to a common sense of purpose.

So, I hope we talk a lot. But even more, I hope the conversation leads to action as the Holy Spirit leads us. Because the Holy Spirit has begun the conversation. It's ours to take up.
