Looks like the winter is arriving later this week here in Latvia!

Revolution

Upon the recommendation of Jo Norton, my old corps officer from Wandsworth, I’m reading The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. Jo’s gave it with a warning that it could “mess your head up” and she wasn’t wrong.

If you want to live a nice comfortable Christian life then don’t under any circumstances pick up this book. If, however, you want your faith challenged then by all means read it to your hearts (dis)content. I’m not sure everyone that Shane has done during his still relatively short life is required of all Christians, but there is a lot in there that will breed a holy discontent with much of what Christianity has become!

I’m only half-way through myself, but intend to post on a few of the points that are raised over the coming weeks.

Well I went through the process of updating the Wordpress software that runs this blog. What should have been an easy process was turned into a nightmare when I accidentally deleted the wrong folder on the server and ended up removing the themes and plugins from the site. Still it all worked out well in the end!
