Origins, Simple Church. Life lived together with other believers. It's simple. Easy.
To me, even the word Origins, of course referring to "beginnings" is a good definition of what simple church is all about. When we are together, the beginnings of friendships occur, the beginnings of healing for wounds long inflicted, the beginning of another new step in our individual and collective walks with God.
Thought I'd post a few glimpses of our life from my perspective.
My big kids, Mackenzie and Levi, spent the Thanksgiving holiday away from us. They returned to the airport met by several of our Origins family, including Ray, A.K.A. Cookie Monster. These kids have no doubt whatsoever that they are deeply loved.
Thanksgiving, we gathered together and ate delicious food, cheered on the Saints, and my Origins family opened their arms to my family family. Smiles all around!
It is easy; not in the sense that it is effortless because that does not communicate value. I love the way we value community, family. At the end of the day I was glad Ray, A.K.A. Cookie Monster, didn't get Tasered by the T.S.A., even though it would have given Ray a great "testimony" and an even greater YouTube video. LOL
