Julie Silander commented on the post, Fear Not 3 years, 7 months ago
@misslinda – Thanks for your kind words. The stroke actually happened three years ago Christmas Eve, but we are still walking in the aftermath. Every Christmas brings back the reality of our deep deep need – and of the Father’s extraordinary provision. Thank you for praying for our family. The kindness of others – many who we don’t know – has…[Read more]

I wrote this post the morning before Christmas Eve. At 10pm that night, my husband had a stroke. Changes in circumstance can’t change what is True. We were, are, and continue to be grateful.

Wait. I know I’m supposed to be commenting on the main point of the post, but I can’t quite get there yet. Is this a re-post or something that just happened? Julie, are you and your family ok? What happened with your husband? Do you need anything? The truth of the post doesn’t change with the unexpected health crisis, but I definitely want to know what is happening and if we can help. I can at least be praying.

Julie Silander wrote a new post, Slow Church Discussion: Week 1.5 6 years, 1 month ago
As we contemplate Slow Church, it seems appropriate that the natives are crying for slower reading. Over the past week, we’ve enjoyed rich conversation in the discussion forum, and folks have been generous with s […]

Just got my book in the mail yesterday. Apparently I excel at “slow”. 😉 Looking forward to joining the conversation as soon as I catch up on a little reading.

In response to @jannabarber re: “those who don’t agree” and to @carrieg re: the McDonaldization (particularly in Charlotte) and to the rest of us, here’s what I’m thinking…
Perhaps we’d all do well to acknowledge that the ideas presented in Slow Church (or in any book, for that matter), are excellent fodder for conversation and for personal…[Read more]

I just have to ask. Why are we moving so quickly through a book about being slow? 😉 I’m a slow reader. Does that count for anything? Ha ha. See you in the forums, friends.
