| Posted 6/5/2002 10:09 AM (GMT -6) |   | Just thought I'd let you all know that my wife Kaia and I will be in St. Paul visiting her family during the second week of June. We'll be attending Woodland Hills on Sunday morning, June 16. If there is a chance to meet any of you Woodland folks, we'd love to say hello in person.
[Too bad we couldn't have visited on the same weekend as Meph. . .I've never seen the devil in person before. ]

| Posted 6/6/2002 5:05 AM (GMT -6) | | I'll be out of town that weekend. 
You're going to love Woodland. I always notice it more when I know someone new is visiting. I think to myself, "Man, this is a cool church!" God Bless you Brett.

I'll be there for second service. We could meet behind the sound booth in the center of the worship area.

| Posted 6/6/2002 10:19 AM (GMT -6) | | Great, Springs! Looking forward to it. We usually go to the first service when we are in town, but if we can meet most of you at the second service, then we will certainly attend that one. Behind the sound booth is a good spot.

The second service would definitely be better for us. We come from a long ways away, and they are resurfacing one of the parking lots, so we don't stand a chance of getting there early enough to get parking for the early one! (But if you went to that one, maybe we could meet just before the 11:00 gets started, or something...)
Post something to let us know!
Thanks,
Semeia

I used to be a missionary to Mocha Java. The natives there are very friendly. They were so trusting and nice I didn't even have to preach the gospel to them. They were saved already through their native religion. There were a few agnostics, but I left them alone too since they'll get a chance after they die to confirm themselves. Nice place! Great coffee beans too.

| Posted 6/7/2002 1:58 AM (GMT -6) | | I posted a reply on this thread yesterday, and today I find its not here. Now I'm wondering if I accidentally posted it on a different thread.
Anyway, what I said was... looking forward to seeing you. Springs plan is a good one. Meet behind the sound booth in the center-back third of the auditorium (POW, you can't miss it. No picture necessary. Just look for some place toward the back third of the auditorium where there's a lot of equipment instead of chairs.)
Til then
Greg

| Posted 6/7/2002 4:53 AM (GMT -6) | | All right. The plan is set. We will meet behind the sound booth after the SECOND service on Sunday, June 16.
I'll be the guy with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Scandinavian beauty at his side who I somehow got to not only marry me, but also move to TEXAS. [Still don't know how I pulled that one off.]
Really looking forward to it!
Brett

| Posted 6/17/2002 5:09 AM (GMT -6) | | Just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet BJS and Kaia! What a great couple! We got a picture of everyone behind the sound booth, but we forgot to take a picture of the booth for PoW. Maybe next time.
It turns out I had met Kaia working in Woodland's church office a few years ago. Cool. I can still remember her telling me she was going off to Colorado for ministry, and thinking how strong and brave she was. Those traits will come in handy, being married to a lawyer!
blessings,
Springs

| Posted 6/18/2002 8:26 AM (GMT -6) | | Can't tell you how great it was to meet all of you in person! My only regret was that we didn't have more time to spend with the group. Kaia and I would definitely love to arrange a dinner or something on our next visit.
Churchmouse, even in our brief hello, you seemed as kind and funny as you do in your posts. Looking forward to getting to know you more!
Springs, I'm so glad we finally met. Your posts are always so honest, humble, and thoughtful. Who would have known that you actually used to work with my wife!?!?!? "It's a small world, after all. . ."
Semeia and Icon, you two are quite the dynamic duo. Your kids are so blessed to have parents who are as devoted to God and others as you are. And they must all be geniuses-in-training with your genes. Just know that as Kaia and I prepare to start our own family, we really look up to couples like you. . .hope we can keep in touch!
Electra and Modes, ditto on the dynamic duo thing. You two are going to make one powerful teaching team at a college someday. I really feel led to pray for you two this week because I realize how much you do to facilitate Doc's ministry (not to mention your own!). Wish we were closer so that we could hang out with you guys more, but for now, let's be sure to stay in touch.
Doc and Shelley, thank you. As I told you when we were there, your ministry has greatly affected Kaia and me. As a pastor's son, I am all too familiar with the challenges and struggles you face. Just know that what you do is NEEDED. Your ministry's combination of passion and substance is a rare find these days. We will continue to hold both of you up in prayer.
PS-I'll post the group photo as soon as we get this film developed (assuming, of course, that I can figure out how to post it. . .I might need some help from faithful servant or PoW. . .)

Wish I coud've been there to meet you and your wife, but we were out of town. I really appreciate your posts, and would like to meet you sometime when you come to WHC again. Everything you said about those you met is so true. I ditto your compliments.

| Posted 6/18/2002 10:20 AM (GMT -6) | | Brett, I ONLY know how to post a picture when I can create a link from this site to that one. (That's all that I've been doing.) Either send it to the sitemanagers here, OR find a website that YOU can post them to, and then link to them.
If any of that is confusing to you, then ask JCsites what he recomends!

| Posted 6/18/2002 2:35 PM (GMT -6) | | Brett,
Hey, thanks so much. The pleasure was ours. It has been so much fun in the past couple of months meeting different people from the board: Might-be-Don's wife and children, Mephi and his wife, and now you and your wife Kaia. It's been wonderful finally being able to put faces to some of the names.
Of course it really makes me wish you would all move here immediately, so we could argue (er, I mean dialogue) over coffee or lunch.
One thing that has been great in meeting people from the board is that it is more a feeling of seeing an old friend than meeting a new one. I have felt that with everyone I’ve met so far – and I’m sure it has something to do with the emotional and sometimes transformative conversations we have been lucky enough to participate in here. (Thanks for the forum, Doc – and to everyone who supports the site!)
So when is everyone going to MOVE here already? Mephi? Brett? Don?
Let us know again next time you are in town… we’ll have to plan something more than meeting at the sound booth…
Thanks,
Semeia

| Posted 6/18/2002 5:57 PM (GMT -6) | | Thanks Brett,  I really appreciate that considering the source.
I was just thinking about Don too. He's taken such a long break from the board, HE BETTER BE packing boxes!
Meph, is your computer still demonized? I hope you get it fixed soon, Modes is getting obnoxious. Better yet, get on up here!
If my picture ever gets posted here I hope that one guy, from the hot or not thread, doesn't show up and tell you about my crooked teeth, crows feet, and moles!

Blessings.

| Posted 6/20/2002 4:49 AM (GMT -6) | | It was great seeing you and Kaia. Every time I meet someone whose regularly on this board, it just confirms my Spirit inspired intuition that this board attracts good looking, brilliant, godly people. Can we all get an "Amen" on that one?
Blessings on ya'll down there in Texas.
