Reignite Hope - Opportunity for Service

As we invite you into the Spiritual Discipline of Service this week, here is an opportunity to join with God in his creative and redemptive endeavors of establishing justice:

Reignite Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to changing lives both in our own community and in other nations.

It offers a free certified welding program to people who have been homeless, unemployed, in prison, marginalized- offering them Hope in Christ- and the experience that God has a wonderful plan for their future!

They also weld bike ambulances for villages in Africa, saving at least one life a day.
Here is a short video speaking to how God is weaving lives together with purpose through Re-ignite Hope:

18th Day of Lent: Seeing God’s Heart of Mercy Mercy is God’s “Slow Thinking”

One of the greatest pitfalls that we face these days is a " rush to judgment".. That's a phrase made (in)famous during the "OJ" Simpson trial by his attorney Johnnie Cochran.   Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel prize in 2002 for his research in behavioral economics, specifically judgment and decision-making.  His best selling book "Thinking Fast and Slow" exposes the faults and biases of our "fast thinking"....(our rush to judgment)....the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, overconfidence in corporate strategies, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation!
