Since we’re starting to grow, it may be time to start with some #introductions. My name is Dan. I’ve been married to my best friend, Amy, for 21 years. We have two ridiculously great kids, Ethan (17) and Libby (15).
I lead Missional Communities in Southeastern Michigan. We are looking at building a network of Missional Communities and training women and men to lead more of these and become fresh incarnations of the church.
I am constantly deconstructing and reconstructing.

Thomas Merton on the night (excerpt)
“I sit in darkness. I sit in human silence. I begin to hear the eloquent night.
The world of this night resounds from heaven to hell with animal eloquence, with the savage innocence of a million unknown creatures.
The enormous vitality of their music pounds and rings and throbs and echoes until it gets into everything, and swamps the whole world in its neutral madness which never becomes an orgy because all things are innocent, all things are pure.”

A while ago, @mike posted about Jumbo, an app that helps you keep your various internet accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Alexa, etc.) cleaned and private—as private as possible, anyway. Since then, the app has been overhauled and made much more user-friendly, plus they've added new cleaning services. If you didn't check them out then, you should give it a shot now.
