A Complaint Free World!

Did someone cut you off on the freeway this morning? Was your coffee too hot? We all complain about major and minor things every day. But Pastor Will Bowen of Christ Church Unity in Kansas City, is trying to change all that. In a Sunday morning sermon, Will told his congregation he wanted to make the world a complaint-free place, and passed out purple bracelets to each church member with the following challenge: If you catch yourself complaining, you take the bracelet and you move it to the other wrist. The idea is to ultimately keep it on the same wrist for 21 days. Will says he chose this length of time because scientists believe it takes that long to form a new habit. The idea has taken off in a big way, with a recent appearance on Oprah and more than 5,900,000 bracelets requested to date. By the way, that's requested - not purchased. The bracelets are sent to you FREE just for asking. Check out Will's "Complaint Free Church" for more info and to request bracelets for yourself and the people you love. It's also inspiring to note that Will's church is not a "mega-church" -- it is a small church with only 275 per week in attendance. Yet another example of the power of one small group of people to transform the world!
