Trash Talk and Dumpster Diving

I've been thinking differently lately. Just about our responsibility as Christians to take care of the earth and use our material resources respectively. This has happened because of some stuff I'm reading and also because of perhaps the best class I've ever taken-- Theology of Christian Compassion. I spoke to a few people this week about this and a lot of conversations end with "but that so hippy"... It's not hippy dancing or tree-hugging that I'm suggesting it's simplicity; considering how we can better respect the Creator through Creation. Studying here makes me thankful for recycling programs (even though 3 trash cans can be a pain in the butt). I see every day how much crap ends up in the garbage when no one recycles, reuses or even considers the impact that the individual has on the environment. This guy on the video has a public forum article here his approach may be extreme for you but think past your initial reaction.

Breakthrough!!

I'm super thankful for friends and smores! Last night after a very long day Sara showed up with Smores, just what I (perhaps "we") needed. Then this mornig I discovered that the word STRESSED backwards is DESSERTS! I'm probably not the first to come up with this but I always knew they were connected!

At church we've just started a series based on "Walk Across the Room" the book and study through Willow. They used this as an intro to the first sermon, funny, eh? Then while continuing to avoid cleaning I also found this Christmas version, a little out of season but still a hoot.

Blog?

Been awhile, eh? Lots has happened in the month of non-existence but here's the latest...MOVING!


No, I haven't started drinking (yet) this is the gift that the last tenant left me. A nice surprise as I began to move in.


So I've sort of moved in to my apartment, I still lacking everyday essentials like a bed and a phone but at least I'm here. There's another story just getting here....quite an interesting time indeed. Me....three 60lb suitcases and the subway in rush-hour Chicago. I'll just let you picture that one for yourself. I must admit there is some good to being back in Lincoln like Sara and my other friends...who am I kidding?? I mean friend. Also its good to get to know Randy who is already referring to me as his other wife. :! I'll be super glad to just get the semester fully started and actually seen some light at the end of the tunnel. Yes....that means actually finishing school. I haven't talked to anyone in over a month (anyone I mean friends). Life just sometimes gets too crazy and I really let it get the best of my mind and spiritual journey. So please don't take it personally I'm not avoiding anyone in particular it's everyone and hopefully soon I will start emailing. Thanks for the emails and phone calls. And yes...I will fix my blog as well, I means me asking Sara to fix my blog so that stupid Christmas counter goes away!!
