Meetings

Is there myth to be found in the mundane nature of meetings? I still don't know. In the long term, huge scope of the beast -- yes. There is beauty in the Body coming together, sustaining and supporting a church (the Church) over months and years. In the nitty gritty 12 hour work day reality, there not so much beauty as there is annoyance, boredom, frustration and hope.

Then again, as I reflect on my past few hours this morning, perhaps this is why God exists outside of time. The beautiful drama of our lives plays out in the backdrop of the "big picture", it is seen when taken in context with other things. There is beauty in the small minutae, that is enhanced in the context of story and..well, context. The grace enters when God enters in to the minutae of our lives, into the mundane meetings and meets us in our beautiful, muddled existence.

Maybe it's a stretch. Yesterday was really long.
