Take a bag!"<BR/><BR/>I remember telling Kelsey "They're going to get ripped off big time...". She quickly pointed out that losing a few bags of groceries was a small price to pay for extending the kingdom. Smart girl.<BR/><BR/>Steve taught us all volumes about the power that generosity holds for both the giver and the receiver.Randy Bohlenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346839604231409453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35583920.post-78466504834540424332007-09-18T10:59:00.000-04:002007-09-18T10:59:00.000-04:00I remember my first time I ran into the vineyard 1...I remember my first time I ran into the vineyard 1986-7, it was in san diego, me and my wife then were invited to a jazz club on a vineyard church site, where the waiters were serving us to show God's love in a practical way. I thought it strange back then and it always stuck with me. <BR/><BR/>I always thought I would like to join a church like that back then versus the toxic faith I was stuck in back then. If I would of just had the nerve to drag my wife to the church maybe things would of been different now.<BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35583920.post-25778162237781908822007-09-17T18:13:00.000-04:002007-09-17T18:13:00.000-04:00I'm always amazed how small things, simple truths,...I'm always amazed how small things, simple truths, heartfelt worship that focuses on grace, produces expressions of God's love in simple practical ways.<BR/><BR/>Three years + traveling all over the world and the USA with Steve S certainly ruined me in a good way.<BR/><BR/>The strong DNA of the Cincy Vineyard has made an impact far more reaching than the gracious leaders and people at the Cincy Vineyard will ever know. Their love is changing the world. (see www.soulsurvivor.com as one example) <BR/><BR/>People are scattering grace seeds all over the world in small and big ways. Their expressions of kindness is producing a living picture of a generous, giving grace-full God. <BR/><BR/>I am confident that the years ahead in Cincy Vineyard's great adventure will continue to produce caring, loving, believers that will be committed to to reveal the heart of God through small things done with great love.<BR/><BR/>I'm especially glad that Jesus by His grace has made all of us 'ragamuffins' the acceptable worshipers the Father seeks.<BR/><BR/>As one of my friends often says, 'the best is yet to come.'<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being true to your roots and maintaining your passion. It's refreshing.<BR/><BR/>SteveSteve Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151679321553358649noreply@blogger.com
