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
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

During my final year of seminary (particularly the last semester) it felt like my brain was so cluttered with information that it was clogged. It was as if I couldn't retrieve information I knew was in there because it was stuck. I actually wished I could take a plunger and unclog my brain. That feeling lasted for about two months out of seminary.
I've given up on having an uncluttered desk. I have chosen to believe that it indicates that I have more important things to do (like procrastinate). :-)
