scoey's conundrum

Saturday was Roundabout day – more like mini-compressed Roundabout day – our last two meetings (11/2007 & 5/2008) have been Wednesday p.m. through Saturday noon events – where people, mostly between 20 & 30, representing many nations of Europe (approx. 10) get together for a few days of intense worship, prayer, building & making friendships, [...]

The point isn’t to describe the institution so much as the mission – or the reason it exists. The life context of the 25 attendees is radically different – in age, cultural background, [...]

I slept well, & woke up a couple of times in the night to see what time it was… only to find that I still had several hours of sleep available to me. Alex & Linda are on the 5th floor & have an incredible view from their extra large window. A double espresso & [...]

This is a picture of the Bean & I at Roundabout last week – w/18 of our friends – in this pic, we’re making a commitment to Christ’s call on our lives, & also to each other.
