[quote=Anonymous]Jen went to Oklahoma Baptist Univ. A four-year school. I actually worked with a gal who went there, who was smart and funny. Jen taught middle school for a few years before having Gavin, I think. In Interrupted, she talks about the disparity of heading up a church in a well-to-do, maybe affluent area, preaching sacrifice and charity, while having little Sydney wear a $60 dress for one day on Easter. She was uncomfortable with the conspicuous consumption. Which feels so strange typing now. She at the time really inspired me to see how I, a Western, affluent Christian, could live a life that honored Christ. A life not of excess but of mindful, thoughtful consumption. A simpler life could give her the peace she needs. [/quote]
