Missional opportunities

Is your church missional? Does your church go on mission trips or do they do missions everyday at home?

While thinking about how to write a story about a young lady with a desperate need to have wholly healthy lifestyle, David beat me to the story.

Read the story and respond with churches, associations, organizations that provide a rehab house, a transitional house for individuals to get it together to succeed in life and living.

Don’t tell ME what to do

One of the characteristics of the Millennial generation, the younger generation, is of them thinking of themselves. They do things their way on their terms and often don’t want someone telling them how and when to do things.

This characteristic is played out with mothers in a Florida restaurant. I understand that babies are hungry and want to eat when they are hungry. They’re fussy; however, everyone does not need to experience everything involved with feeding babies. Go ahead and feed the babies, but think of others make sure things are covered.

The younger generation needs to think of others more than they do and have consideration for others. It’s not all about ME.

A writer you should read

Here is a link to a new writing opportunity from a writer you should read. Go ahead and sign up for his articles. The first article is about a Delaware teacher/children’s minister.

wimpy book

I’ve seen a lot of kids in my after school care group reading this book the past few years. It’s very popular at school and many kids choose this book as their summer reading project.

Generation differences don’t matter

“Young people and older people exhibit marked differences in attitudes. Whether it’s the work ethic, religious beliefs, racial tolerance, the way they treat other people or the use of technology, the young and the old are not on the same page. What’s striking, researchers say, is that the differences don’t seem to matter anymore.”

Over the years, generation gaps have mellowed out. Generation differences remain but, according to this article, researchers have found that the differences don’t matter as much these days.

Anyone have any thoughts on differences between an over 40 year old and an under 21 year old?
