from april to may.
many apologies for the lack of posting as of late, my friends!
we had a great gathering back in april. our topic of dialogue was simply, Jesus. or unsimply, rather. we had a small, but very engaging crowd…an absolute delight to my heart.
next month our gathering falls on perhaps one of my favorite holidays of the year, cinco de mayo! so, we’ll be pushing back a week and gather on the...

navigating political involvment
last night’s discussion, per the usual, covered many thoughts and feelings in charting our course into the political realm, where we get our maps to do so, and testing the accuracy of our compass.
we had about 15 there, to board the ship and sail away on a journey that i think, both challenged and encouraged pushing the Kingdom forward.
a special thank you is in order, to jacob and daniel,...

it’s that time again. time to gather, put on our thinking caps and reading glasses…order a brew, and examine our heartbeats along side the hearts of our community.
we have just celebrated the birthday of Jesus Christ. but why do we need Him? why is He special? why is His birth important?
there’s a little passage in exodus i (we, God) like to call the ten commandments. do you...

december? where did november go?
wow. i can’t believe we are about to enter the final month of the year. “what a YEAR this has been,” i think to myself, reflecting back on 2008.
one of the main things i’ve been reminiscing, is what it looks like to follow Jesus. i think back to the beginning of the year, it realize how it looks different for me now. i’ve grown and changed and been challenged....
something awesome to think about.
when talking with my british history, doctorate pursuing friend, today, i began asking her questions about the british view of a royal family rule, vs. what we have in america. i know, for me, this has greatly influenced my view on Christ being my ‘king’ or ‘lord’.
she explained to me, as best she could, the fierce loyalty that enlgishmen and women have towards their...

the september happening.
three beautiful souls came for our first ever wine for Jesus event, at uncorked…a charming east side venue. jacob, jessica and myself gathered for story time over pasta, wine and a little local taste. the evening transitioned into mostly storytelling; where we’ve been, where we’re going, what we are seeking, and what we are not seeking. we talked through a scriputre in jeremiah,...

hi. my name is emily and i’m a believer in Jesus Christ.
i have created this group in austin, texas, to journey together wherever God may lead, but perhaps you’re wondering…what’s up with this?
allow me to give you some background. ever since i was a little girl, i could always sense right and wrong, and i knew in my heart there was more to life than my princess of powers...
