So you work at PaulBs - otherwise known as Zimmies! I am sure I know some of your co-workers - can't just think of any names right now.
I saw pictures on Facebook that Leroy Hershberger was there telling stories! I'm sure that was a treat. The staff and their families of the school where I teach had the privilege of spending an evening at his parents' home just a week or two ago. We were all suppose to share about a book we were reading or had read that had or was impacting us. Leroy was there as well and entertained us with a book he had recently read as well. It was called "Lights Out" and the author made a case why electric lighting is bad for the human race. Of course, to hear him tell about it was quite amusing but a compelling case as well.Jazman wrote:Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Wish I could have met more of you, but did have some good conversation with EdselB and Ernie and other acquaintances and some colleagues that I work with at PaulB's as well! (and didn't know I would be at REACH) I appreciated the theme of spreading and living the holistic Gospel of Christ that seemed to permeate the ministry focus sessions and break-out sessions.
I really, really enjoyed Leroy Hershberger's "story-time" and I put it in quotes because it was much more than just a story. For me it encapsulated the gaping difference between conservative/OO Anabaptists and american protestanism or american culture for that matter. Most christians I know would take that money without a thought of refusing. I'm not sure I could refuse either, but it was a good question to ponder.
I am all thumbs when typing on an phone. Had I really dressed than way, I would likely have gotten a visit from my bishop.Ernie wrote:Did he ever!Hats Off wrote:you should stand out with white shorts and black jacket!Judas Maccabeus wrote:While short, black jacket here

Just kidding.
My brother gambles, and frequently approaches my with a "bright idea" for winning money some way or another. He should know better, I have never bought into the crazy ideas of his, but sometimes wondered what it would be like to have a million dollars.....Jazman wrote:Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

I was sure I read you wrong - but was trying to get my post count up and also like to see what response I get. I really wanted to take in REACH but couldn't afford to take the time off this year.Judas Maccabeus wrote:I am all thumbs when typing on an phone.

Just to let you know, I immensely enjoyed REACH, and believe I was taught and challenged.
