And if you check in your bulletin their will be a young men's meeting on Tues. nigt.
I used to think to myself, "What do people my age do all the time?". Most of my friends are conciederably older than me and the few that arn't are quite a bit younger. But what about young christian guys born in the early and mid 80's? Where are they at in life? I assumed they sat around all day watching MTV and playing X-Box. Then they magicly turn 29 and are responsible adults with spouses and children, a 9-5 job, and a white picket fence. Isn't that how it works? Aparantly not. On the roof of my apartment there is a patio and grill, and last night there was an informal steak and corn session on the roof. Five young men all from different churches eating steak and talking about how they were going to save the world. Two were fresh out of college and had just landed great jobs for up-coming companies, two were experienced in technologies and sales and then their was me, gellato boy. (all musicians on some level) The amazing thing was in their mind a "gellato cart" was just as legitiamate of a business endeavor as their new careers; which they should be starting day 1 just about now. The were tossing entrepeneural endeavors around like gatorade. "We should invent this, we should sell that. And the down to earth kingdom minded perspective was refreshing to say the least. My generation, like every generation previous will literally be running the world in 10-15 years. It is exciting to think of the impact and influence we could have as Christians by advising and being those key people. Oh and by the way I wasn't completely off about the MTV and X-box thing, but aparantly they do it in their nice houses and their swank apartments as opossed to in their mom's basement. And they talk about world missions and church government while they do it.
