Shirley says

She took a turn for the worse last night. She lost a lot of blood and they had to give her 9 pints of blood but she is doing great today. Thank the Lord. Thanks for everything.

An Update

Jim — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:46:22 +0000

There were three of our own who faced surgery today and one who was in the hospital. But I’m happy to pass along word that Betty W. has returned home! And Barbara H., Walker M., and Christie L. all came through surgery with flying colors and Christie and Walker are now home.

God is good.

The Problem With Much of American ‘Youth Ministry’

Jim — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:44:23 +0000

According to the author of a new book, it leads, too often, to what he calls ‘the juvenalization’ of Christianity.

In the book, Bergler traces the way in which, over seventy-five years, youth ministries have breathed new vitality into four major American church traditions — African American, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic — even as their methods have also engendered widespread spiritual immaturity, consumerism, and self-centeredness, and have popularized a feel-good faith marked by neither intergenerational community nor theological literacy. The preponderance of pop worship music, jeans, and T-shirts in church services? These, he says, can all be traced to juvenilization. So can the ubiquitous language of “falling in love with Jesus.”

Brilliant! If anything marks modern youth movements it’s precisely spiritual immaturity and consumerism and self centeredness.

Judy visited her family Doctor today and he insists that the E.R. misdiagnosed her condition. She doesn’t have shingles after all but inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Please continue to remember her.
