Where to begin?

Everything needs a beginning. If there is a scripture that has bothered you, that the Lord has put on your heart, or one which you think needs explanation, life, or deeper meaning please post it as a comment and we will discuss them.

Welcome to the beginning of something great

God calls us to pray. To me this means we are living in expectations at the feet of our merciful and loving Lord. To put parameters around this would be to harm, what I believe is the essence of why we as Christians come together. We are called to love God and love our neighbor. This is what we want to do. This is what I am expecting. That God will flow through us as we look at His word and how He moves, that we may glorify Him, edify each other, and be encouraged.

About the name: I wanted to encapsulate the humility we are called too as Christians. In a circle there is no head. As Christians we are lead by Christ. The circle eliminates the failure found in human power. When we are on the floor we are equal. There is no other one who is raised above another. Also, this has a social justice appeal for me. Many of us have a Western experience of life. We spend most of our time avoiding the floor, but billions of people spend their lives on the floor. As Christians we must not only recognize our local humility but also our global humility. We are part of something much greater than ourselves.

I hope and pray that what we have set out to do will glorify our God and purify our souls.
