School's Out.
In an effort and as the school year came to a close, i sort of neglected this blog for a while. here's been what's up lately. I just got a job at Old Navy, which is very relieving because i was beginning to get worried about getting a job. I'm going to be staying around Canton this summer (i say that as if i've left in the past, haha) and working at RiverTree and Old Navy. I start training/orientation on friday at old navy, and then leave on saturday for vacation with my family. i'm really looking forward to getting away and relaxing for a week cause it will be the first family vacation we've had in a few years. It's really just going to be a continuation of what i've been doing lately though cause i've really just been relaxing around here and job-hunting. Thus far i've read a lot of books that i slowly gathered during the semester. my plentiful pile of "to-read" books seems to be shrinking at an incredible speed.
interestingly enought, it seems as if i'm being unintentionally presented this summer with two sides of a postmodern argument. i realized that out of the books i've collected at random to read, many of them are advocating either the embrace or rejection of the church's embodiment of culture. i'm not sure exactly where i fall on that yet, moreover i'm not sure if a person needs to be on one side or the other. my question is this...is there room in the Church for both the embodiment of aspects of culture for the proclamation of the gospel as well as and overall rejection of culture in other cirlcles for the spread of the gospel? i would love to hear you're thoughts on this.
as this year has closed and i've finished up my classes i've reflected a lot on what i've learned this year. as that previous question asserts, i've realized how central the idea of unification is in my personal theology. literally everything i hear, read, or see, all comes back to the question of "how is this dividing or unifying the church?" i've been really encouaged to explore some writing this summer and am going to hopefully write a paper or two this summer. two specific topics have sparked my interest thus far.
