just spent a great weekend creating a sacred space prayer room for methodist youth in nashvegas. the theme was "undignified" so the prayer room was a modified "life of david" from SACRED SPACE. also led two art worship workshops ...lectio and art! great fun. haven't been around 2000 jr/sr high students in one place in quite a while...you could just see the energy and hormones....rather a different vibe in the convention center than was there in november at YS!
thanks to gavin and brad for hosting me. great to see tony jones in action (despite his back pain) and great to hang out with sally chambers too! i also had a chance to meet miss bethany penner! and get my baby fix!
i'll post photos next week.
today i'm off for my annual birthday pilgrimage to the abbey of gethsemani...not that i've been blogging regularly, but i'll be out of touch with facebook and cell so it will be a chance to detox from technology and get my head together for the new year (yeah, i know it's february, but i'm still getting used to the 09 thing)
it takes the til wednesday for my head to get silent enough to hear anything from God...i'm hoping for snow and i can't wait to be quiet...even extreme extroverts need to stop meeting people and stop talking!
so happy february, and wherever you are, take some time to be still.

you should remind them of this joke i had the guys rolling with about Merton & the Dali Lama going into a barn.. oh wait, its a silent retreat, i just thought of the joke and imagined them being humored by it.. you can imagine the same if you like. its really funny.
