Centuries of Adventure have brought us to this point...
Paul writes - Hmmmm. An interesting way of thinking about the Christian tradition? Tradition as the outcome of adventure. I like that; it's very honoring of where we've come from.
"Between the traditional and the new, or between order and adventure, there is no real opposition; and what we call tradition today is a knit work of centuries of adventure."
- Jorge Luis Borges
What adventures lie before us? Will these enrich Christian traditions or diminish them? What stories of our adventures will future generations of Jesus-followers tell?
What a great quote--to think of life and tradition as an adventure.

Wow, I just wrote a message about the adventure on my own blog. What a great supplement to my own thoughts this week. Must be something God wants us to hear.
