Letters to a Congregation
Every Thursday I write a pastoral letter to the west congregation of The Austin Stone Community Church. These letters are simple, pastoral musings on what it looks like to live a life that is attentive to God in the midst of a shared context.
The One About The Simplicity and Significance of Thinking Like a Child
When I was a kid in school (which was a very long time ago) I used to worry about a lot of things. I worried about the work that I knew I should do, I worried about what I would be when I grew up and how I should go about that, I worried about my relationships and whether I was like by the people I wanted to be liked by, and I worried about my relationship with God and whether He was pleased with me.
Then I discovered that there were verses in the bible that tell us to not worry. This made me worry more.
