Welcome Back! / Jan 30, 01:59 PM
So I’ve been back for three weeks now and while most days seem pretty “normal” our team has tried a few new things. Usually during the weeks we read books together. Not really together like out loud to each other or anything. Just each of us reading our own copy of the same book and then Sunday nights we discuss. But after many weeks of this “book club” things can get pretty routine and that sometimes really just means boring. So this week we tried something new. We decided to play a game while we discussed “Jesus and the Disinherited” by Howard Thurman. We chose to play Monopoly. We had a little discussion then a lot of game playing and then a little more discussion. I’m not sure it was the best way to discuss a book but I think it was a good effort. The game, however, taught me something about myself. I never realized that I was competitive. The game lasted for close to 3 hours. Everyone began by buying every property we landed on, but I didn’t get such a good selection. Pretty soon houses and hotels were being constructed all over the place and my bank account was getting smaller and smaller. Matt and Claire went out and I was starting to mortgage everything I owned. I could have just given up because it was obvious that my lack of houses, hotels and property weren’t getting me anywhere but I just couldn’t do it. I still had to hope that I could come back and win it all. In the end Rori won with something like $20,000 and everything I once owned!
