Welcome back.
Jason Dukes, Mark Weible and me.
I’m continuing my celebration from last Friday marking 6 Months of posting here at “Into the Mystic…” Six months ago, when I first started this blog, we had a rich discussion on whether or not real relationships could be built in a medium like this one. For many of us, that question has been answered.
Erica McManus.
Others have yet to ask this question. Be patient with them when they come. Eventually they’ll find you and the community that inhabits this dimension as they feel their way through the myst.
Marvin Moore.
What is happening here has precedents in the history of online interaction, but never with the kind of intentionality and subversive purpose that we here. In many ways, I think we’re pointing the way towards a new form of the Christ following movement.
Largely this is so because of the influence my “search for The Mystic” has had on me. I’ll continue the narrative and reveal my latest findings to you soon.
Bill Clark, John Caterson and me.
Each person shown here has BOTH commented and contributed to the conversation here and have met f2f with me either here at my home or somewhere out there.
Brian Russel and me.
Performing artists, homemakers, construction workers, seminary profs, church planters, pastors, presidents of music labels, professors of political science, superheroes, mosaic interns, students, Educators, designers, accountants…have all found their way here to “Into the mystic.” And through here many of you have also found each other.
Michael McManus.
Looking back I discovered that [after my son, Michael and a nice young teenager from Texas], my young friend Cliff Bragg was the first to post a comment. Thanks Cliff for helping me get things going.
Cliff Bragg and Jason Jaggard.
Tony Sheng, Dale Swinburne, and Mark Weible were right on Cliff’s heels. All four of these guys are still integral parts of this community through their comments here and through their own blogs.
Dominic and Niza.

Toby.
Did I mention the radio station? The podcasting? The videoblogs? The new blogging community I hope each and everyone of you will join — word is we’re actually getting somewhere now. Stay tuned.
