Dreams – Peter Gowesky

So, I’ve got to admit, there are times when I just want to sit around and focus on the here and now, and the has been. It’s in moments like those that I generally also focus on what went wrong in the here and now, and that has been. I was talking with a close friend yesterday and we were talking about the types of conversations that we have in any one given day. You know, the complaining conversations, and the chit chatty types, and also the general run-down types…

It occured to me that I need to keep my conversations in check. Not just the language, but even something larger than that… The type! I need more conversational dreams! I want to spend some time thinking and dreaming about what God wants to do here in D-Town, better yet, on my block where I live. I want to dream about what God wants to do with my wife and I.

Where do you find your conversations headed? What type do you fall into most often?

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

~Peter

Lately, I have been thinking about stuff… You know? I find myself thinking about ministry, life and my family. Sometimes I wonder if this is normal? I mean there are times when I just can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve found myself saying, “Okay, it’s time to go to bed now. Stop thinking about stuff!” I suppose that you could call this craziness, or maybe just disturbed.

I wonder about how can we do things better? How can we more effectively minister to students. What would be my dreams and goals… I sit and think about the church in a perfect world. I dream about the day when we can be a church that stands culturally relevant, and is culturally attractive to those in our community! I dream about how we can get to that point. I am pained by phrases, and ideology that causes more harm to the name of Jesus, than it does good.

Sometimes I wonder… Sometimes I dream…

What keeps you up at night? What are your passions?
