WOW! What a title, huh? Maybe it should read: Adventures in Missing the Point. Yeah…that’s more like it.
At Mosaic in Terre Haute, we are doing a series on common spiritual misconceptions. Below are the myths we are working through:
> The Church and the World: Us vs. Them - No…us for them.
> Church is about money: No…church is about the poor.
> The Christian life is about eliminating sin: No…it’s about action, love, service.
> God is with the Religious Elite: No…God is with the broken.
> God can be figured out: No…God is BIG! We journey with Him and learn as we go.
So…what do you think? Where did these myths arise? How can they be overcome? Is it important to dispell them? What are some myths you are working through?
Leave us your thoughts. We’d love to discuss this with you. Blessings,
Chad & the Mosaic Terre Haute team

Hey Chad,
It was great to meet you at Humana 2.0. I hope that you and your family enjoyed the rest of your time in Central Fla., and that your hand is feeling better!
If it helps to lessen your load, I arrived back home (north of Toronto) to about 7 feet of snow. My back hurts from shovelling.

Hey Patrick,
Well…you’ve definitely got us beat. We can mourn together.
It was great meeting you. Did you make it to the beach? We went to Cocoa Beach for a while…it was wonderful.
Oh…still no word on my hand…but it is feeling marginally better. Stop by anytime.

Ok, Ok, the only thing we all had was Hot Cocoa, so let’s not get out of hand with the boasting here brother. Glad you had a great time. What was the Humana convergence all about, fill us in! Give us a good story about spending time with the McManus’s!!

Thanks for asking, man - I did get to splash around on a lonely Daytona Beach at about 8:30 on Thursday night. It was awesome … and bonechillingly cold!
Well, as you await word on your hand, I’m now waiting for some news on my foot. I ruptured my achilles tendon this past weekend playing squash. No more shoveling for now. Yay! … I mean rats.

Patrick,
Man…you’re kidding. That’s sounds incredibly painful. I had no idea squash could be such a dangerous sport.
We finally found out the results on my hand…bone contusion. Essentially, a really painful bruise on the bone.
Terre Haute is melting away right now. Hopefully no more shoveling for the remainder of the winter. Fingers-crossed.

Hey Chad- Penny for your 40 thoughts- I saw that same post. The comment about people leaving the church you love and trust is always needed to be heard. Hope you are well. -Aaron
