the week of october 7th

Hello!

Just wanted to let you know that we are meeting exclusively on Thursdays now.  You can find us in the Campus Center Dining Area from 1-2:30 pm. We will continue with the theme of story, and our discussion this week will be based off the following quote from Donald Miller’s book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years:

“If you watched a movie about a guy who wanted a volvo and worked for years to get it, you wouldn’t cry at the end when he drove off the lot, testing the windshield wipers. You wouldn’t tell your friends you saw a beautiful movie or go home and put a record on to think about the story you’d seen.  The truth is, you wouldn’t remember that movie a week later, except you’d feel robbed and want your money back. Nobody cries at the end of a movie about a guy who wants a Volvo. But we spend years actually living those stories, and then expect our lives to feel meaningful.  The truth is, if what we chose to do with our lives won’t make a story meaningful, it won’t make a life meaningful either. And so I began to wonder…is it possible that a person could plan a story for his/her life and live it intentionally.”

Hope you are having a great week and we look forward to hanging out on Thursday!
