April Journeyman Inspirements

Read the following two, marking your favorite parts: 

• TJED for Teens, chapter 8 (4 pages) and Appendices A and B (pages 139-147)

• The 5,000 Year Leap, choose two principles you haven’t read before: 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21 

And do one or more of the following:

• After reading TJED for Teens, sit in a quiet place and imagine your future best self.  Imagine how strong, wise, caring, compassionate, and committed to God you are.  What do you see yourself going, in big and small ways?  Write about what you imagine in your journal.  Also ponder and write about what God wants you to do now to prepare you to be that person in the future. 

• After reading TJED for Teens, do a mini version of the “Pollyanna Game” simulation on page 144. If you can take two hours for it, great! If not, do a minimum of 30 minutes. Come to class ready to share some of your favorite thoughts or patterns you noticed during this simulation.  Or choose another simulation in that section instead, and to a mini version of it.  Come to class ready to share. 

• Teach the class a presentation on either principle you studied from The 5,000 Year Leap. Use a Prezi, Power Point, political cartoons, an object lesson, a white board diagram, or a group activity to present.
