Balaam's *ss

(Numbers 22. Go look it up.)
Because almost anyone can have some insight into God's will.

It's hokey (and inaccurate, according to Dan Brown), but I like it.

We believe in one God, the Father All-sovereign, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, and the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of the Father before all the ages, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not made, of one substance with the Father, through whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from the heavens, and was made flesh of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man, and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, and ascended into the heavens, and sits on the right hand of the Father, and comes again with glory to judge living and dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end:
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and the Life-giver, that proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and Son is worshipped together and glorified together, who spoke through the prophets:
In one holy catholic and apostolic church:
We acknowledge one baptism unto remission of sins.
We look for a resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come.

Allright

Allright I am contributing. Now that I know I have a job I might as well get along with my life, or what is left of it. For refrence, here is the chrisitan community (notice I didn't say church) I plan to be part of while I am in Visalia. www.newhopechurch.org.
I guess the way I look at is that since I love being in the country and my career pretty much guarentees me a rural setting, I plan on helping develop a rural emerging church at some point in my life, since I am one of the few of the hick postmodern christians. But one way I am looking at my move to CA is that a: it helps with my career and earn good money but also b: I actually get to be part of an emerging church rather than visit one. I hope to pick up a lot from the community and learn how to take it back with me once I get back in the Midwest. And also maybe I will find a wife there, God willing, cause I really need his help in that department.
