It was awesome...wish I could share the whole thing, but I will abbreviate & share this much: We (the church) are commissioned. We don't buy into the Empire way of thinking. By living for the Kingdom (which typically entails not looking "normal"...ie: large families, giving away lots of money, etc.) we can liberate the imaginations of others showing that there is a different way.<br /><br />Keep on liberating imaginations!
