flying without the net

Some people think i should say more

some other people would also say its a girl thing that you can't feel ok about saying i did something that was good (you should know I've edited this back from "might be")

i guess this is a chance to say the good stuff - the thing that keeps me there after the Saturday terrors of futility and worthlessness.

i flew without the net on sunday - i used the ot reading and asked the congregations what questions they had and what they thought about the characters - and it worked ... people talked back - we laughed about the uses of power, hopefully we laughed because we saw ourselves....was this too confronting? was this is ok way to communicate? on reflection it was actually some of the older members of the congregation who actually talked - the same ones who declare that they like the older style of worship in the ncls results!!!

And it went even better the second time when i didn't use notes at all. there is something about having the readings and the thougths on where you'd like it to go in your head that was liberating i wonder about this being a good way of communicating with pacific islanders...the melanesians in particular liked it.
