you are looking at some of our quorum that collected for the virtual reality viewing of a very real general conference. in the house through the night
today after doing the oh crap errands for wifey (i forgot to do something so i had to handle it in the morning which took more effort than if i remembered yesterday). i jumped over to the retreat house to watch the general conference stream. was joined by a good couple of folks throughout the day.
i wasn’t the best at paying attention today, there was some work of the church i had to attend too, but the theme today was central and regional conferences. more later. if you want to join us, come on this evening. i will also be holding open the chat room in the methoblog.

had a random meet up with revmom & rabbit john in our ‘second life.‘ it was some really great conversation time. we are continuing these talks of doing a virtual church plant. i made a visit over to lifechurc.tv’s church plant in second life. even in cyberspace, it is a seeker sensitive looking space.
it was nice to pray for my friends and be prayed for. that was encouraging. so interesting is this connection.
i zipped over to my basecamp the koinonia church. there i found some other folks checking out a brian mclaren video. but real world calls, i’m off to do those things. i only wish i could fly in first world, it would be sooo much cooler!
if you are there and want to catch up with me when i am actually on i am "gavin tellig."
