Stuck Inside
 
 
After 10 years of dreaming and erecting structures within the walls of the church, I felt stuck inside. I wondered what it might be like ‘out there’. I could faintly see a different life...a life that wasn’t enslaved to bigger and better services...a life that wasn’t consumed by activity...a life of freedom, intimacy, and joy. I didn’t have the guts to dismantle what I created so I imploded my life. I’m outside now...rebuilding my life with a fresh start.
