Tim, what a great cast of characters. Looks like a great blend of theological and experiential perspectives. Good for you!

As I read the list I felt obligated to lift up my mentors on the list, then I thought most of them probably don't read blogs. This begs the existential question, If I honor my elders on a blog, but they don't read it, are they really honored? ;-)

Thanks Bruce! I'm still hung up over whether a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if no one is there to hear it. :-)

I've been keeping all of the "elders" informed, so I hope that some of them will read the blog.
