Too much input, too little time to process. It started early morning at 7 am with a businessmen&#8217;s breakfast. <a href=\"http:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henk_Binnendijk\">Henk Binnendijk<\/a>, grand old man of TV-Bible study, held a devotional based on Marc 4, a chapter that contains three parables on seed: mustard seed, growing seed and sowing seed. Seed is small &#8211; in some cases even too small to see with the human eye &#8211; but it contains <em>everything<\/em> to become a mustard tree, a crop, or a human being. In the same way, with the seed of Gods Spirit in us, we have <em>everything<\/em> we need to become what we are supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>In the same meeting I met up with Harmen van Zwol, involved with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stichtingpresent.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\">Present<\/a> foundation, a charity that focuses on social and practical aid in the local community. I think there are many opportunities to partner together, as we are very complementing ministries.<\/p>\n<p>Later on that morning I sat down with my colleague Jan Gerrit Duinkerken to work on a presentation of some research we&#8217;ve done on Rotterdam. As is often the case with him, we had a long conversation about the relevance of the Gospel for people in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>That conversation more or less continued that afternoon with Jozua Ros, coordinator for Navigators LifeNet. We&#8217;re &#8216;old friends&#8217; from some 13 years ago, when we were both with Navigators Amsterdam. Good to catch up and to hear his thoughts on a wide range of topics, and to see where we can strengthen eachother.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the day was not over yet &#8211; at night we had the first meeting of the new season with our church small group. We are going to talk about Bruce Wilkinson&#8217;s &#8216;The Dreamgiver&#8217; the next couple of weeks. As I said: maybe too much for one day&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was a crazy day &#8211; I feel a little too inspired.
