The idea for Kingdom Travelin was born in 2005 at the bi-annual Covenant School retreat. JR and I were discussing life, ministry and theology and he suggested I should start a blog... 385 posts here (and a few score more on my other blogs) later and Kingdom Travelin will soon be two years old... there are lots ok kinds of blogs... I seek here through the everyday to see the glimpse of the Eternal that I think Plato saw and I know C.S. Lewis borrowed with the idea of the Shadowlands... If we will just open our eyes and see, we will see glimpses of the Eternal all around us, HE is trying to wake us up! To see HIM and to follow HIM...
Today I depart for the bi-annual retreat and I look forward to more conversations with JR, my brother in the work.
I prayed with thanks this morning that stronger, smarter, younger men are leading now... Recently, Mark sent me a chart about life stages the other day and I am settling into the role of encouraging more than doing... it's a role I am learning to embrace... for something over two years now I have been sought 'being' instead of so much 'doing'... It is, to use the language of Paul: 'peace'... Thanks be to God for the Grace that has enabled Peace...
Peace to you, through Grace...

Glad you took up the pen - or should we say, sat down at a laptop - and shared your thoughts with the world through blogging.
Keep it up, Mr Foley

Love the idea of mentoring more than doing..........I too have reached that point...to some extent. Hi JR.
