Over the last year and a half, I've experimented with other live events, called The Piazza, or The Pub, or things like that, which were meant to be live gatherings with Q&A, and discussion of whatever comes up - a place for conversation. We had several of these events, and they were attended by "the regular suspects" and we had great conversation.

However two things make me need to rethink how we do live events. One is that we don't really yet have a critical mass of people who want to attend live events, and the other is that it is getting increasingly hard to schedule a live event for any time when enough people are available to make it viable. What I am discovering is that a community like ours needs a larger pool of people to draw from in order to have enough people available at any given time to make a live event work. I don't mind that our community is still relatively small, because I'm not looking to be famous (I'm in introvert, after all) but we're probably going to have to wait for some more growth in numbers before we get back to live streams other than the weekly Bible Study.

Having said that - thanks to those of you who have joined recently - we are glad you're here - and everyone should invite their friends!

In the meantime, I hope that you will all feel free to post here in the community feed - comments, observations, reflections, prayer requests, and questions. I will continue to post my morning reflections (The Cafe) whenever something occurs to me, but you should consider the feed here to be all "Ask me anything" all the time. As you know, I'm not on social media and I don't have comments turned on in my YouTube videos, so this is where the conversation is!

And while I'm on the pilgrimage, and then on vacation, for the next couple months, I will post when I can, but it's going to be less than usual, so - talk amongst yourselves...
