Barna Update

Interesting web site of the Barna Institute...long time Christian run, religious life /practice researchers. George Barna has recently written a book called Revolution about the changes in the landscape of the church today.

Here's a snippet from the web page:

Rapid Increase in Alternative Forms of The Church Are Changing the Religious Landscape

Americans are creating new forms of religious experience and expression that are replacing the common approach (i.e., attending events and programs at a congregational form of a local church). During the last couple of years, in particular, there has been an explosion of activity in new forms of faith activity, such as the house church, marketplace ministries, and cyberchurch participation. The adherents of these new forms of the Church span the demographic spectrum.

Brazilian Food and a Fabric Sale = Fun :-0

Went with Baird to Framingham/Natick area this afternoon to pick up a table for my mom...and.... in our search for a Brazilian restaurant to eat at I found a BIG fabic store with a sale....yeah!! I bought 2 coordinated fabrics from a fabic line called Mod Squad, to do a makeover of a 1950's day bed I got at a tag sale this summer. Oh yeah... and the Brazilian buffet and chuhascaria called Beef Grill... well.. it was stupendous. We were the only gingros there. Woo hoo... score!
