we are into a new book book study. the title is 'UnChristian' Its written to address why the church struggles to attract younger generation to Christianity. How Christians are perceived, how their actions cause those perceptions. and 'hopefully' to raise self awareness of how our actions do matter greatly. I am excited about it.
And hope its more engaging than the current book I am reading. "the Great Emergence" Phyllis Tickle. Her thought is: about every 500 years since the ministry of Christ and maybe even before the Church / Religion has undergone a major renovation. Pushing it to new territory, and bringing about internal change as well.
right now I have gotten past Martin Luther, but still stuck discussing 18th century philosophers, psychologists and thinkers who shaped the modern world. Its a pretty broad overview and events just fly by. I am hoping she has something intersting to say about what it is exactly that is currently so revolutionary, or who, or why they are causing us to rethink christianity. we shall see.
bike ride today was wonderful. I got some sun on my neck, it was chilly so I had layers and long sleeves, pants.
When is it ok to ask for a raise? when you think you are going to get one already? when you really really need one? When you know your wife is pregnant? Everyone else is getting one, why not you? I have no idea. I suppose part of it is based on what you're contributing, part on what your reason can be dicerned by where your heart is. not that that has any thing to do with buisness decisions, we are the only ones who have to live with our decisions so its more personal question I guess.
