Google surprised many of us with the news that they would be shutting down Google Reader as of July 1, 2013. This was not welcome news because many folks, including me, consume most of their blog content with an RSS aggregator. Google Reader is simple and easy-use.
I relied heavily on Google Reader to search out the blogosphere for useful content to share across my social networks and with my community.
So what now?

God gives Adam some instructions on the care of creation and his role in the unfolding story. It’s pretty basic, and very generous (see Genesis 2:16-17). But notice what God doesn’t tell Adam. There is no warning or instruction over what is about to occur: the Temptation of Eve. This is just staggering. Notably missing from the dialogue between Adam and God is something like this: “Adam, one more thing. A week from Tuesday, about four in the afternoon, you and Eve are going to be down in the orchard and something dangerous is going to happen. Adam, are you listening? The eternal destiny of the human race hangs on this moment. Now, here’s what I want you to do . . .” He doesn’t tell him. He doesn’t even mention it, so far as we know. Good grief—why not?! Because God believes in Adam.

A little over four years ago my husband, Jeff, and I left traditional church ministry in California and started a coffee shop ministry in Hickory NC. We served in church ministry for years and at the time were on staff at a growing church of about 550 people. However, we’d felt something was really broken with church as we knew it and more and more people were disillusioned with church. At our own church the focus had changed once the new building was built. Concern turned to keeping up the property and having an impressive, polished, and even an “entertaining” service.
