After reading the latest post from Taylor over at the EmergingUMC blog, I decided to put my comment on my blog....you can go tot the link to the otyher blog above...if you want to know what I am answering...but anyway here is my answer..(or you could pretend this is a Jepordy game and try to fingure outt he answer, heh heh....anyway here was my answer...what do you think?:
Taylor's QUOTE:
"What does intercession look like for the emerging, missional church? What does it look like in your congregation? What might it look like? And how might you get from where you are now to somewhere closer to where you might be?"
Funny that you ask this...because I am reading Dallas Willard's "Divine Conspiracy"...and this quote from the book really hit me and I immediatly remembered it (talking about Jesus' teachings on prayer),
Jesus teaches us to...."be in prayer what we are in life, and how to be in life what we are in prayer."
That is the attempt of Th3 Waters...entire life transformation, and a life style of prayer, not just something only done by someone else one hour a week, but something that is a part of who you are. So we encourage people to be constantly praying for others. @ work, @ the store, in the mall, etc... And that prayer and love of others is what draws them to develop an intentional relationship with others so that they can experience the same community that those who are a part of Th3 Waters!
We do this in several ways, a ministry called Living Out Loud, and also the way we pray in worship (which happens in public places, etc...) but that is our desire to live lives of prayer and for prayer to be our life!

Yall have a great day...and just two more days until the new camera comes in! Woohoo! heh.
