Last Wednesday night, Halloween, was one of those moments I stood back, looked at what was happening on our campus and thought once again, I can't believe what our church has become (or is becoming, or will become, or all of the above). I don't say this out of arrogance, but rather out of amazement for what the spirit of Acts 2:42-47 is doing in our midst. The colors of the evening were wonderful. Not the colors of the costumes - I'm talking about the colors of skin.
Our church has it's messes, hypocrisies and conflicts like every other church, but I hope and pray that God can continue to make us a community that crosses social, economic and ethnic boundaries. It's the "one, but not the same" of 1 Corinthians 12. It seems we can really only be God's people (at least in our neighborhood) if we do this. People are coming to God! I'm coming to God!
Here's a short video of the evening. Thanks to Nickel Creek for "The Smoothie Song."

Tim,
That was awesome to see! I particularly liked the witch costume for biased reasons of course given my last post.
It was a beautiful video.I agree that "diversity" is the key and what God had in mind for us all. Sadly, not everyone see or hears this message with the same eyes or ears.
Sorry about my spelling errors in my last two post. I wish you could edit it, a bit embarrassed by it.
God be with you in all things,
Kim Cox

Kim,
I always appreciate your comments. Thanks for catching the beauty of diversity. It's so hard to understand until it's been experienced!
Don't worry about the speling errers. I've dropped mine all over the internet by now. That seems to be part of the "rawness" of the new media. (I confess, I usually have my wife proof my stuff. But not always, you'll still find errors in my posts!)
