What is God doing?

Fusion leaders, since there wasn't much response to the question, "what are you reading?" (thanks, Travis for the input), I thought I'd give a chance to share some stories of God's grace in action at our churches.

What is God doing?

Quickly: I was asked this morning to renew the wedding vows of a couple who was separated and headed for divorce just a few weeks ago. An affair nearly destroyed them. Thank God, He is bringing forgiveness and healing. A marriage rescued!

What's He doing where you are?

what are you reading?

Fusion leaders...in addition to the Bible (assumed ;)) what books are you currently reading? It may be good to exchange some resource ideas.

I am reading Tom Clancy's "Into the Storm", an incredible book on military leadership. The connections to church work are pretty easy. On a road trip tomorrow, I plan to listen to Seth Godin's "Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us" on CD.

How about you?
