So here we are, staying on Calvin’s Campus. The morning was nice and relaxing – the celebration service wasn’t until the early afternoon. Sleeping in, doing laundry, drinking lotsa coffee and going on the interweb – all wonderful things.
The celebration service had a great speaker – Shane Claborne. He’s written a few days, and his message titled – Revolutionary Gentleness – spoke a lot about social justice and many examples he has both seen and experienced. Shane told a story about a little boy in an impoverished country that he was doing work in. That happened to be the little boy’s birthday. Shane bought this little guy an ice cream cone – the boy was very excited. Then he got all of his friends to line up and they all got to have a lick. Being an ice cream lover – that little guy is pretty generous. Shane then said “the best thing to do with the best things in life is to give it away.” I really believe that this is not money – but love
