the upper room in our living room


well the answers are beginning to come...and with them even more questions. i am very excited about what god is birthing in us. the upper room is a small band of lovers of god who gather together in a living room in st. james to eat together, share life together and talk about what it means to be a lover of god, a follower of the way, a disciple in this current culture. what does it mean to be a "hint of the divine"? what does it mean to be the aroma of christ? what does it mean to be a citizen of this earth and yet a citizen of another kingdom? we have just begun to ask questions like these, and our prayer is that the questions will lead us not to answers, but to action...to the changing of the way we live this life. we desire to leave footprints that will cause others to find the same food and life that we have found.
this blog will (i hope) give you a taste of what we are experiencing as we gather. it will be filled with questions and quotes, thoughts and dreams, ideas and theological ramblings. and we hope that they will point through the mist and mire to the one who calls us to "leave everything and follow..."
if you have stumbled upon this site by chance...then welcome. if you wish to learn more...email the.upper.room.osborne@gmail.com and talk to scott. if you have thoughts that you would like to add to our ongoing conversations...feel free to express yourself.
if you have been guided here by an invitation, then feel free to interact with what you see here. the truth is this is not the best way to experience the upper room...in fact, it is a very poor substitute for the real community. To find out when and where our next gathering is...email the.upper.room.osborne@gmail.com.

peace to you,

scott
