DISQUS

I think even my dad, from the boomer generation, has to think this way now...he is a welder and has gone through 6 jobs in about 8 years due to the economy, he has instructed me to always keep job options open. The world is becoming so transient and volatile that we always have to be one step ahead, or sometime 5 steps.

Wow. Simply wow. It really puts ministry in perspective with rest of the world. I believe it though. Thanks for this.

My mother always taught me over because women have shorter arms than men...

I've never worked in the restaurant industry, but several of my friends have, and they find that Christians are quite often the most complaining and rudest bunch, and yes, tip very little. Good call...These people are often living on tips and need this money to get by.

The Internet is very integral part of my life, especially my religious life. I've worked for 3 churches, and all of them are bad at the Internet, and so are Christian Education professors at schools. Some of them try, but they are up against an overprotective group of people (especially in the United Methodist Church) who try to tell youth to not have MySpace pages or to visit chatrooms because you can be abducted or raped.

In the end, I told one person who said that making friends online was dangerous that I didn't know who she was and that she could be a serial killer (she was a middle aged Christian Educator) but I was able to have enough faith and trust that I could have a conversation with her without her disemboweling me, and that the same is true for people one meets on the Internet.
