“The Adventure is in the Go”

I recently toured Israel with my daughter and visited the sites you read about in the Bible.  On this trip, I had a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and saw the same topography that Jesus saw, baptized with my daughter in the Jordan River, and visited Golgotha (where Jesus was crucified) and the Garden Tomb (where he rose again).  I got to know more about Jesus on that trip.  But I don’t want to stop there, I don’t want to just know about Jesus (like our Jewish tour guide), I want to know Jesus.

The title of this blog entry, “The Adventure is in the Go”, are words of the pastor at the current (and final) institutional church that I am attending has said numerous times.

I have decided that I will begin the transition from the church (the building, the performances) to The Church (the people, the followers of Jesus as in the first century New Testament).  So in this transition, the words of that pastor are resonating with me.  I anticipate that as I go, I am embarking on an incredible adventure!

I have not connected with anyone in my area who are on this adventure.  I’m not concerned about that now, that will happen in His time.  The bottom line for me is to just get going on my adventure and get to know Jesus.

If are in this transition, please share your experiences.  I would love to hear about them.
