You Might Work for the CCO If:

My friend Michele McClendon, who heads up our CCO ministry at the University of Akron, came up with this hilarious list.



You Might Work for the CCO If:

• You like to kick it with college students.
• You carry a Nalgene water bottle. You drink a LOT of water.
• You drink Fair Trade coffee.
• You have a passion for social justice.
• In the winter you wear socks with your hiking sandals.
• You own more books than anything.
• John Perkins is your hero.
• If you’re a single female, you’ve kicked around the notion of marrying Donald Miller.
• You live simply.
• Blue Like Jazz tops off your list of favorite books.
• All roads lead to Jubilee.
• If you’re a female, you don’t wear makeup; if you’re a male, your hair is longer than your wife’s.
• If you have children, you "co-parent" with your spouse.
• "All of life redeemed" means something to you.
• You recycle. Everything.
• You frequently use the word “Sabbath” and like to read books about it.
• For two-day staff seminars you carry only the bare essentials in a small backpack, and still have room left over for the books you PM’d from Hearts and Minds. Ah, life is good.
• You love nature and you feel pretty darn close to God in it.
• In the winter you wear jackets with no sleeves.
• You don’t care about fashion.
• You live in community with other C.C.O. folks.
• You are “intentional” about this, that or the other. You like that word a lot.
• Your family is still waiting for you to get a "real" job.
