Spirited speakeasy

Spirited speakeasy Welcome

4/9/2017

Welcome to my new blog!  I chose this name partly because I live near Chicago, which was a big place for speakeasies during prohibition. Today, I experience many prohibitions in the church.  Sometimes, often even, they get in the way of us being clear about our purpose of the mission of God, communicating Jesus' saving love to all the world.  This will hopefully be a place for us to have conversation and say what needs to be said with honesty, fun, and not taking ourselves TOO seriously. Welcome, I hope you enjoy and participate and share the conversations!
