Sunday I gathered with members of the Kirtland Community of Christ to share in the words of counsel webcast. As I sat there, watched, listened, reflected, sang with my brothers and sisters my mind went a few places. My heart went to a few places as well. Then as I have struggled to find words to write, my mind has drifted many places as well. What follows is an attempt to express in the now my thoughts, as I start my journey with this text in preparation for the 2010 World Conference. The full next is located HERE
— Lyle IIGlorious morning… and a brief glimpse of what is to come
I just wanted to share the joy that fills my hear this morning. I left my apartment and was greeted by the brilliant sun and blue sky. As I walked toward my car I looked out upon the lake, and what was just a few days ago largely white with ice except further out, and then a mix of blue and white now has but a bit of white in the distance, and a wonderful blue greeted me closer by. I didn’t walk all the way up to it, so perhaps by the shore it was a bit white as well, though I did see the moving of a small wave. Still no ocean, but the colours were a sight to be seen. Beyond this joy I also wanted to mentioned I am working on several written pieces, some which may appear here.

We humans are crazy creatures. Certain numerical numbers seem to hold significance to us. After so many years we say “wow it’s been x years.” Often reflecting on multiples of certain numbers. Today I realized that this year 2010CE is filled with some of those for me and my life’s journey. It is also filled with some for my faith tradition, Community of Christ.
