NOTES ON THE READINGS
· From now through the end of September the “chronological plan” of Bible reading will weave our readings in the “historical” books of the Old Testament with the “prophetic” books.
The War of 1812, America’s “second war of independence,” had seen American and British forces fighting on several different fronts. The stronger Royal Navy had its way in the Atlantic waters. Even among the “united states” support for the war was divided. The New England states refused to send men or money to support the cause.

NOTES ON THE BIBLE READINGS
· If you’re on schedule, this week (June 30) you are half way reading through the Bible! Congratulations.
Some lessons you have to learn over and over. Here’s a lesson I learned again this week: I’m not 28 years old. Oh…and I’m not a world class soccer player.
I spent most of the week at Johns River Valley Camp with a great bunch of kids. A couple of times I had to slip away, including Wednesday during the day to take care of a broken mirror on the bus and check my e-mail. My getaway just “happened” to coincide with the World Cup soccer match between the United States and Algeria.
What are the results when a generation grows up with values symbolized and shaped by the Internet? Every voice can be heard but none is trustworthy. Knowledge is readily available, but there’s too much of it to sift through. A crisis anywhere in the world is your crisis vicariously, so that crisis itself seems less critical. A book I read a book this week offers some great insights into the lives and thoughts of young adults.
