Greetings and welcome to Koinonia in Connexion. Perhaps I should first explain my title. Koinonia is a Greek word which means fellowship or communion and connexion is a term used by John Wesley to describe the covenant relationship between the people called Methodists. This relationship is one which is based upon a shared understanding and commitment to Christ as well as to each other.
Therefore, my purpose is to share with you my understanding and thoughts about what that relationship means today, and what it means to be the Body of Christ in fellowship and connection to God, the church and to each other. It will be my desire to share my life with you, both the good and the bad, as well as my unique perspective as a Seminary student and Pastor of two small churches in Rural Indiana. Come with me as we join together in conversation.
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27
To say that Karen and I have been vehiclly challenged in the past few years would have to be a substantial understatement. We have one car that is sitting with 235,000 miles and a blown head gasket, another car with 250,000 miles that doesn't run, even after we put $250 in it trying to fix it. Terri and Josh have one of our cars which has over 200,000 miles and has been on it's last legs for a couple of years, and our good car which now has 183,000 miles on it, and is in desperate need of some TLC by a mechanic accounts for our fleet of cars. (all Chevrolet's)
Seminary has really taken its toll on our cars, but with that being said I feel very blessed to still have 2 functioning vehicles.
With that bit of background information on our car status, I thought that you might all appreciate this video by one of my favorite groups, Da Yoopers of "Second Week of Deer Camp" fame. Ok, I know that some of you may be wondering where my sense of humor comes from, I'm not sure why you would ask, but on this particular video, I come for the Larry The Cable Guy's position of, "Now That's funny, I don't care who you are!"
Enjoy, and know that the Da Yoopers do a pretty good job of describing my cars:)

Terri,
Sometimes you have to laugh so that you don't cry:)
