Weekend Recommendation.
The TallSkinnyKiwi uses an excellent metaphor to describe the church.
Very insightful to compare the eating habits of the 80′s & 90′s to the church models and practices of that time as well.
The World Is Mine
When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be ... I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry
