- Yes, until you reply, I'm able to edit my comment. Which I often do, sometimes because I've had second thoughts... If you think I've mis-characterized your words, Chris, feel free to...

- I still disagree about marriage, and don't see how the word "phenomena" or "symptom" makes any difference. God's making male and female "one flesh" is part of...

I just began my trek into pastoral ministry as the pastor of young adults at a local church in Minneapolis. We're a small group, maybe 8-10 on a good week.

As we tell these stories, we begin to see a little bit of of our own journey in the other's tales and we begin to resemble a family more so than a club. I'm not sure everyone else is buying it, but I'm having a blast.

For small group story sharing, I highly recommend Toben and Joanne Heim's "What's Your Story?: An Interactive Guide to Building Authentic Relationships".
