The hippopotamus’s day
Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
God works in a mysterious way—
The Church can sleep and feed at once.
T.S.
Eliot
Is the Church asleep? I've been wondering why I never meet "new believers". Maybe I'm disconnected from the outreach that goes on around me.

i love the design of this blog! as for if the church is asleep, i think they've been asleep in certain ways for awhile (just my random opinion, and i'm including myself in this!). there's definitely outreach happening, but it seems like outreach is relegated to something special as opposed to our purpose or something we incorporate into our daily lives. seems like most of the church's efforts go into sunday mornings, which are designed for people that are already believers. just some of my thoughts, i'd love to hear yours. oh and how is it going at the convalescent home???
