What have I been doing with my time?
One of thing things I habe been focusing on is reading. I finishing "A Gring Guide On How To Handle Mexicans" by Jose Angel Gutierrez. A good book about community organizing. I enjoy reading about the tricks used by gringos to keep minorities from getting into positions if power and to keep them from jobs, school protests. Its a good read. He uses the word gringo not only to refer to racist whites but also referring to hispanics who have lost touch with their the struggles their raza faces. I will post more on it later.
Right now I'm half way through "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I was at his church, Saddleback, down in Lake Forest not too long ago. Very nice. Eventhough I can't agree with everything Mr. Warren writes it still a good book to read within a group. I just got done with purpose #2 titled "You Were Formed For God's Family." Which spoke to me the most so far becuase of all the things going on my life. The end of every section has a point to ponder, verse to remember and a question to consider. The question to consider is someitmes good sometimes bad. What I like about the way Warren writes is that he focus on key points and back them up with biblbical wisdom something that we all lack from time to time.
Next book on my list is "A Chicano Manual On how To Handle Gringos" by Jose Angel.
Things are good. I just sent out my last newsletter before going up to WA. I hope those of you who get to read it are able to bless me in my move up to WA coming up in June.
