I may steal it....although maybe we need something else...have to noodle on it...it really is good work..and yes, there will be resistance. I just hope folks can hang in there a year or two 'cuz it gets a whole lot better!<BR/><BR/>I've heard the term, "being Jesus with skin on" before...have to remember it...<BR/><BR/>Yes, it is fun to know where you are!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-85353154296327610982008-06-01T20:03:00.000-04:002008-06-01T20:03:00.000-04:00There is a lot in this sermon.

And I adored the first of the two questions you asked at the end. It reminds me of a story Fr. Clyde told us once about being Jesus with skin on. (It was very similar to the storybook tale.)<BR/><BR/>We've been going through a similar process at Annunciation (so cool that I can use the name and have it mean something). Last year we did a lengthy discernment process we called the Growing Together Initiative, and now we are trying to implement the goals we set. One of them mirrors a piece in your sermon. We formed a Communications Committee. (Yours truly is on that one. That's what I get for complaining about communication for three years.)<BR/><BR/>Sending you blessings for the process. I'm sure you know there is bound to be resistance and questions. But it sounds like a solid plan, and I applaud you for spelling it out for folks.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.com
