Someone told me some stuff they had done the other day that was pretty grim. It's funny but having been a pastor for nearly 6 years now nothing really surprises me any more. But it did make me appreciate being part of the Kings Arms. There are not many places you can tell your junk safe in the knowledge that you will be accepted whatever. I'm currently experiencing the loss of another friend who's gone church planting. Its a reminder that each time I have to rebuild with new friends and make a choice to be open and vulnerable once again. The masks come back on pretty quick if were not careful - it takes work to maintain this open culture that we have. But here's to masks off - its the only way to live in the light and really have genuine community!
