Hinge Moments
I have recently started reading “Quitter” by Jon Acuff. In a chapter talking about figuring out what exactly your dream is he talks about “hinge moments”
“A hinge moment occurs when you are planning to do something standard and normal, something you’ve done many times before, like turn a key in the ignition. And then seemingly out of nowhere, something, a small detail usually, hinges you in a different direction. A chance encounter at the grocery store, a stranger’s random comment, one line in an article you read pushes you to a place you were not expecting to go – Page 44″
In reading this, I began to reflect on hinge moments in my life, one in particular came to mind-
Almost there

Just over a week until this semester is over for me, working on finishing up some major semester projects, probably will be turning them into blog posts as well. Thankful that I also do not have to face Christmas media responsibilities at a church, no way I could do both now. What are you working on now as Christmas approaches?
Redemption
Johnny Cash is the man. That is all.
From the hands it came down
From the side it came down
From the feet it came down
And ran to the ground

Buried in Books
These are my textbooks for this semester, well, the ones that are in print anyway. Add on another 2-300 pages of notes, handouts, and electronic books and you have all my required reading for this semester. When I finish this semester I will have written 60-70 pages of papers in response to these readings and other research.
Holy. Crap.
Overwhelmed is an understatement. Despite that, I’m excited to read many of these books. One I am particularly excited about is Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger by Ronald Sider. From what I have gathered it will be a book that is going to really challenge my thinking in my American Christian world.
What are you reading now? What have you learned from it?
Well, back to reading.
