Stephen & Elisabeth in England
Thursday, 20 July 2006
Lovely Hot
Mood:  lazy
Topic: Elisabeth's Entries
Stephen's just finished doing the dishes while I'm drinking beer. Ain't married life grand?

It's hot, but wonderful. Except for the brown grass of course.

This weekend we'll be heading down to the Dorset coast (south England) to visit Stephen's grandmother/nain.

I'm reading a book recommended by my aunt called The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. He and some others run a house in Philidelphia with the goal of living Christianity, not just believing it. You know, following the teachings of Jesus and caring for the less fortunate, restoring abandonded and desolate parts of the city,.etc... Their website is:

Click for Jesus

I'm finding the whole thing a bit heavy handed in that it's soooo up on The Way, and the wonderful apostles that they've become. And not so much on being members of the world. On the other hand, it is challenging and motivating in regards to becoming active in helping others.

And it makes me want to learn about how other religions approach community and consumerism.

No more comments until I have finished reading it.

In other news, it's pretty chilled out in Woking town. Considering going to Dublin in 2 weeks for the weekend. Rail & sail all the way, babee
