unChristian

I recently finished "unChristian" by David Kinneman (Barna group) and Gabe Lyons. (Fermi/Catalyst) The book is a good read, definitely interesting. It showcases what the current paradigm of thinking is perceived by non Christians about how Christians think, act and respond.

It also explains the new paradigm and what the church should be known for. Not too much of it is a surprise, unless you think the culture of your community is what is going on inside your own church. In that case, you should read it quickly.

On another note, Jen and I completed week two with our two foster children. It's great to see progress in their young lives. Here's just a couple of notable improvements:

1. Not as much talk about gangsters and the willingness to shoot them.
2. Both of them have learned to pray and enjoy it.
3. Instead of hearing raps about "apple bottom jeans" and "shorties with a drink" we are hearing songs they learned in school here at CFA.
4. They are making friends easily.
5. they eat anything we put in front of them, including the hot sauce I brought back from Louisiana last summer. It's too hot, but they tried it.

So much is happening and going on during these times, I'm purposing to be more consistent in blogging about it.

Good stuff.
