mission and other stuff

I appreciate the comment from the anonymous parishioner. Brian Casey was a vibrant speaker who spoke with conviction. He definitely was on fire with Spirit as he was unafraid to challenge us on many things. He wanted you to take the next step in your journey of faith but never left you feeling guilty about the past. I believe we did do the best we could with the information we had. Those moments can be teachable times if we reflect on them and challenge ourselves to what we truly believe God wants us to do. Mr. Casey's presentations reminded me a lot of Paul's messages to his communities. Don't ever think you should settle with the faith that you have now. Keep on growing and developing into the image of God. Let God be in control and good things can happen. That is a very difficult message now. Imagine how counter-cultural we are called to be as Christians. I don't know about you folks but I was certainly exhausted by him!
