What do you see for 2012?

One of the new blogs I follow called “The Nonconformist Family” has written about the upcoming year – 2012.

It’s all over. Well, almost.

2011 is nearly history, and 2012 looms before us. Not going to lie, we’re all pretty damn stoked over here at the NCF, and here’s why:

A few weeks ago, Sarah and I were challenged by a friend to give 2012 a title – sort of like a chapter heading. We were both like ‘huh, that’s a cool idea’, and then we sort of forgot until later that day. Know what’s crazy? We both had the exact same chapter title in our minds. 2012? We’re deciding what it’s bringing us. We’re putting a theme on it – and the direction of TheNonConformistFamily.com is going to reflect that slight shift. 2012 IS the Year of Adventure - which sounds all romantic and stuff… which I like.

 

A chapter title for 2012 ---- hmmm, I will have to think on that for a while.  :)

two thoughts that were note worthy.

I listened to a podcast from the “God Journey” last night and wrote down two thoughts that were note worthy.

1.  An atheist once told Wayne that he thought that “We have a Father who loves us more than we know and if we could sort that out we would know how to treat each other.”  When Wayne asked the atheist why he wasn’t a believer then, his response was – “because I have never seen it lived out before.” 

Isn’t that a great line… “We have a Father that loves us more than we know…”  :)

 

2.  The bride is focused on the bride instead of the groom. 

I didn’t catch the full meaning of this at first but after I did it was quite profound, it says exactly what we see in todays Christian circles.

The bride = His church… the church is focused on the church instead of the groom (groom = Christ).
