...Continuing our jazz theme [see Grace & all that Jazz blog] it was great to emerge from the Pizza Express Jazz club on friday evening without having to deal without being greeted by the rain. Instead Hayley and I bade our friends good-night and stolled back across Soho inthe cool of the night. It had been a wonderful evening with friedns and seeing Leee John's [one of Hayley's chums'] Jazz quartet.

It is always a blessing to be home but invevitably when i am home my heart wanders to our homes from home overseas and we long to be there.  Still Hayley and I will return to Brazil in November for a time with the Grace Project workers and to speak at an academic conference and to launch my next book which will be the first in a trilogy based on 1 Jn 2:12-14 entilted "Safe & Sound - Part 1 Little Children." 

The really exicting news for our beloved ecclesias is that we will probably be travelling this time with our dear friends the Steve & Melanie McVey who we hope to be joinig us  in Brazil after they finish their Grace Walk Conference in Mexico 10th -14th November. In case you didn't know Steve is the founder and President of Grace Walk Ministries. If you haven't read any of his books please do you don't know what you're missing. Try Grace Walk or Grace Rules or Divine Invitation or have a listen to Steve & I in discussion by clicking the "old audio messages."    

Its good to be home - hope to share some thoights with you over the next few days.

I 've been reading an article by a man called Ron Kangas from an essay entitled ' The Two Trees: The Way of Life versus the Religion of Death. I found it through following one of the GP's links; it's nice and short and gets to the point. Below is for me the key idea of this essay;

'The eternal purpose of God to be expressed and represented  corporately in and through humanity is fulfilled by the life of God, for it is only through the divine life that the people of God can be bulit up organically to express Him and represent Him'.

Gen:1 vs 26

I found myself doing a kind of 'Lecto Divina' with this and  my heart is overflowing with the thankfullness and peace of God being true humanity.

Organic = naturally produced and cultivated

Humanity = all those little quirks, idiosyncrasies, nuances, that make us unique as humans ,but identically unique from each other and with each other.

John 15

So the mystery and continues.....
