"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

Phil and I mooted until nearly 3:00 am. It was a fascinating and, for me, uplifting and encouraging discussion. We shared our experiences on a number of fronts into the wee hours. I was reminded again last night of how much I admire Phil. He is a wise and very resilient person who has experienced a great deal and lived to tell the tale, with good grace and humor.
Phil, God's grace on you and yours in 2011. Thanks for a great Moot!
(and thanks again Melissa for the steaks, the seven layer dip, the macaroni and cheese, the chocolate goods, the iced tea, and the hospitality).
Happy that Phil was included even if after the fact! Phil goes hard!
