• Still flying high from my time in DC with Missio Alliance.  It ended up being a bit of a family reunion, with old friends from growing up in Denver, my alma mater, Ecclesia network, and my Fuller MAGL cohort and my church in Austin.
• One person said to me “now I understand Chris!  These are his people.”  That felt good.
• There’s been lots of great feedback from my post Eight Game-Changers Observed at Missio Alliance. One person even wrote a response.  Check it out, and share your thoughts.
• Here’s some other people who have been blogging about Missio:
  • The Missio Alliance eBook Sale from Zondervan | Scot McKnight, Jesus Creed
  • Missio Alliance Poems | Tori Lane, Fusion Project
  • Theology at Missio Alliance | Ken Schenck, Wesleyan University
  • Did I Get What I Expected from Missio Alliance? | Kevin Scott, Sustainable Christianity
• After leaving Missio Alliance, I headed up to New York to spend a few days with my sister and brother-in-law (and future niece!) in the Bronx. Here we are at The Cloisters.
• She is responsible for my awesome new profile pic.  Thanks!

Brother-Sister-Niece!

• Highlight of this trip to NYC? Highline Park.  A former freight train track that runs across through the city that has been repurposed into a hanging garden.  The best views I’ve seen in New York.  Pretty much the closest I’ll ever get to being Spider-Man.

• I try to befriend anyone I see reading N.T. Wright in public.  Yesterday at the best-looking coffee shop in Austin, I met Shane Blackshear, a blogger, podcaster, and part of an inspiring church community named Mosaic.  Check out this interview he did with Derek Webb.
