realize i've already posted on Dorothy Day and possibly The Catholic Worker, but am continuing to read more and more about Day, her counterpart Peter Maurin, those that were influenced by their work, and those who influenced their work.  strongly recommend that you pick up something (even if it is just the wikipedia post about Day, Maurin, or Catholic Worker movement) and read it.  remiss that i had not picked up something about this sooner.  Day, Maurin, and the Catholic Worker paper/movement have influenced many in the neo-monastic movement and should inspire all of us, regardless of religion, denomination, or belief system to live a more genuine, authentic, holistic, agrarian lifestyle.   if Day not your cup of tea, read Wendell Berry, whom i've also written about before.  

sorry haven't posted in a while, been busy working on multiple items and small projects.  recently said yes to exciting new opportunity with local UMC to foray back into youth ministry.  looking to provide something new and different with this endeavor, not just the run-of-the-mill programs, singing kum-by-yah and day trips to six flags (though six flags will most likely be in the mix there somewhere).  would really like to work at strengthening our faith together as we ask the good, tough questions of faith and challenge each other to live holistically (as individuals and as a community) as we experience the love and grace of God through Jesus Christ.  please pray for congregation, youth, and me as we enter into this new endeavor together.
