I’m doing a teaching on “risk” today at Otter Creek. I love how one Roman Catholic theologian captures the mission of the local church.
“A church which pitches its tents, without constantly looking for new horizons, which does not continually strike camp, is being untrue to its calling . . . We must play down our longing for certainty, accept what is risky, live by improvisation and experiment.”—Hans Küng
Oh Yeah! I wish the local church had a better grasp on risk (hey, I wish I did too!). Great comment.
By the way, got your book, read it, loved it. I’ll be referring to it often I’m sure.
Also, I’m pulling for your Tigers given my beloved Rangers will be watching the playoffs again.

Greg–thanks friend. Hope all is well with your family.
