I prefer to hide in my cave . . . uh office.
I just put a new rug down and I have a sweet couch that my brother has been passing around to family members for years. I also brought in my favorite chair from home because it just didn’t fit in our house.
Then there is my sweet computer rig. I have a duel monitor set-up on my desktop (which has been ruined by my Vista upgrade-save me Steve Jobs!), and of course my new laptop (mostly purchased by me, not Savior Church FYI).
Even though I really like my office, I have been making an effort to hang out in Nyack more, though I find it hard. Parking is tough, and my wife and I are sharing one (very sweet) mini-van. Two articles I read this week made me reaffirm my commitment to getting out of the office-cave and working out there—that is, outside my cush office on the off chance that I may get to know people. Why “off chance”? Because I am scary. I tend frown when I read and/or think, and have a huge bald head—very intimidating. Children often cry when they see me. Nonetheless, I want God to use me in my city and so I want to try to get out and meet people. After all, I know Jesus and they need Jesus.
I found the following two belongs through the Reformissionary blog. The Six Rules of Cultural Engagement and The Value of Hanging Out. I don’t know much at all about these authors, but I like what they had to say and I’m trying to incorporate it into my life.
