New possibilities are emerging. We live between what was and what will be. ...The Holy Spirit breathes anew into our lives, the church, and creation. God’s aim is a new creation in us, among us, and around us! And nothing is more important than discerning what God is up to and our role in it. - Stephen M. Veazey, “Boldly Venture”
