My friend Todd Hunter is bloggin' again. Cool Stuff.
I am enjoying the summer off from the DMin program that I am in at George Fox University. I have one more year of courses and then a dissertation to write. My dissertation attention is on the area of Story. Several years ago I heard Todd say that for the most part that folks in the church were living in the "wrong story." That struck my curiosity and I begin to think along those lines. For most of my ministry in teaching I have been calling folks to look at HIStory. This little saying from Todd put new energy into what I was already doing.
I am using Tom Wright's five-act play model as a backdrop for my dissertation outline. One of the things Tom has said is that in the act of the play that we are living in, we are to improvise from the story that has gone before.
I like the idea of improvisation as a way of living in the Story of God. If any of you have any thoughts about this comment me back.
Like the Toddlimiester, I have become delinquent in my efforts to blog but hope that I can work into a more consistent pattern of conversation.
