Our time at Starbucks has ended, but the discussion can continue...Many of us enjoyed Chapter 5, Getting Lost. We talked a great deal about times in our lives we wandered "off the cowpath" and how we learned vital things and experienced growth we would not have otherwise known. When have you experienced something positive from getting sidetracked from what you had planned?
At the risk of starting a conversation with myself...I had planned to spend a year after seminary doing a chaplain residency and instead found myself leading a congregation in transition and loving it. If I had pursued the residency, I would not have found my way to St. John's...where God clearly intended for me to be.
