Re-Vision
In the crate of books that will travel with me on sabbatical are all my prayer journals from the past 13 years. I intend to take a good look back at what God has done in my soul throughout that stretch of time, so that I can "meditate on [his] wonderful works" and "celebrate [his] abundant goodness" (Psalm 145). The other thing I'm doing is revisiting the beginning stages of Coram Deo to renew my vision for what God has called us to. This week, as I was listening to the podcast of our one-year birthday party back in the fall of 2006, it struck me that about two-thirds of you who now call CD home were not around at that time. So if you want to look back at what God did to launch the movement we call Coram Deo, go back in the archives and listen to that message (Resource page >> Vision and Values >> "Church Planting in Omaha"). You'll get a good sense of our history, and enough humor to keep you honest (like Wes Freemyer admitting that he came to CD in order to investigate whether or not we were a cult). I think God will use this message to renew your vision and calling as He did mine.
I'm outta here... no posting for me for 2 months. Y'all keep it civil on here.

That 'Tracy' really did a good job talking about Missional Communities and how they can transform different aspects of life. That was really cool!!!
I have enjoyed going back to read some of the very first posts on this blog for the same reason. I wasn't around on day 1 of Coram Deo, so it was really interesting to read about what God was doing during the formative stages of this community. What He did then and what He has done since has definitely blessed my life greatly, and for that I am thankful.
cult
-noun
6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.
So Wes did verify that Coram Deo is in fact a cult?
