It’s peculiar to me how often the cheap churchy cliche’s that I had on bookmarks and stickers as a super keen teen twenty years ago and lost confidence in during my early adulthood are now appearing to be true; but in ways and depths that are entirely different than what I thought I understood then.

I don’t believe that I am in this field out of some mystical imperative; but it is encouraging to see that I am in in a situation where a lot of what has come before can apply in a way that advances not only the purposes of Catalyst, but also (hopefully) God’s purposes.

I know I've taken a circuitous path to get into the foundation world. Glad you're at PIGS - wish I were there. I attended one years ago, but haven't had the opportunity to re-connect. might be too easy and cliche to say that God’s in control and He knows what He’s doing, even when we don’t!
