Tuesday Conversation: Fort Worth

Alan, Becky, Loren, Heidi, Morton and I met at Panera and a good old-fashioned discussion about Biblical authority, Adam, Eve, sin, Heaven, Hell, etc, etc, etc. I think in the end, a good time was had by all. :)

Open Heart, Closed Heart (Sunday Conversation)

Kyle did a great job of facilitating a conversation that centered around Borg's ideas of "open" and "closed" hearts and the "thin spaces" in between. Lots of great comments from all gathered. Paul led the music and treated us to a great solo of John Lennon's "Across the Universe".
