Messfest '08
What a blast it was to get messy with a bunch of our youth. Chocolate syrup + whipped cream + bags of flour = a HUGE mess. I think God specializes in being present in messy situations. It's there that we risk everything we have so carefully tried to hold together. More often than not, it turns out with rough edges. But it's there that there is the promise of laughter in the face of threat, peace in the face of chaos. I hope I'll always be willing to follow Jesus into the messy places of the world, sometimes in solidarity and sometimes helping to clean up, occasionally part of the problem and in need of Jesus' hose to clean me off. Thanks Andrea for reminding me about ministry.
