Cwillz Spills

Since I get texts from redbox telling me that I can rent movies for free and I was all alone, I went and picked up “Into the Wild“.  I enjoyed the story quite a bit, although I don’t know if the nudity was necessary to the plot (it also reinforced some skewed stereotypes of europeans).

Anywho, I want to misquote a line I found truth in:

Old man to a young man: “Well, you see there is something, something you don’t mind calling God that is bigger than all this.  And- and, well you see when you forgive, you love. When you love the light shines on you.”

Good stuff. I have been told the book is better. It will go on the ever-so-growing list of things to read.  

May the Lord’s will be done,

I am moving the blog here.  Its just more functional.  Sorry, blogger.

We had a great speaker last weekend and I’d like to share:

Eric and Danielle Timm have a ministry called No One Underground. At Springhill’s fall teen retreat last weekend, Eric spoke with authority, humor, candor, and great love. He also painted two pieces of art that went along with his message. Danielle did a dramatic reading of some of her word art, which was also powerful, truthful and exacting.

The first painting he did for us was called “Issues” and is a picture that shows the God-shaped hole in every person, and three shapes (a circle, a square, and a triangle) in the background. The shapes cannot fill the hole correctly. We learned how to let go of these shapes, trust in the Lord and to get rid of the things we use to push God out of our hearts.

Thank you so much Eric and Danielle!! My students and I will have the reminder of how important it is to guard our hearts every time we see your painting in our youth room.

Have a mac, love to study the Bible and depressed about the options available to you?

Libronix, a great scholarly tool for studying the Bible and theology, is going cool. I used Libronix quite a bit over the last few years and really wish I had it for myself.

Thought I would spread the word.
If you want to buy it for me, that would be good too

Recent history of my transportation:

April 2008: Sell 82 VW Vanagon Westfalia, Buy 88 VW Cabrio

August 2008: Sell 88VW Cabrio, Buy 89 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE

Before you hate on my newest ride, realize that it came at a very discounted cost as my grandmaw is now rolling in a much newer, and much much faster Benz.

Nelly and Cedric the enteratiner knew what they were talking about when they talked about “Rollin around town in a big body Bez with two dollas worst of gas”(Country Grammar: Intro).

SO- I bought a new bicycle. It comes today. Should save me some money, help me be less fat.

More to come.

May the Lord’s will be done,

My friend Caitlin told me about this 6-word memoir book / site. I guess Hemmingway was once asked to write an American story in six words and came up with “For Sale: Baby Shoes Never Worn”.

You can submit your own 6 word memoir, read others, and submit your own at http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/

I submitted one:

“FS: College Degree take over payments.”

Yes, I know FS is shorthand for two words. Get over it.

This letter was sent to the members of a group called “Dream for Darfur”, who hope to raise world awareness and influence the People’s Republic of China to use their political power for the good of the Darfurian people. It is a good opportunity to creatively impact your world.

Dear Friends,

Terror continues for the people of Darfur. Despite our efforts and yours, China has not used its unique influence with Sudan and its role as Olympic host to try to address the Darfur conflict.

China has ignored the people of Darfur. Tomorrow at www.DarfurOlympics.org you can send Beijing a message by refusing to watch Chinese propaganda during the Olympics.

Every time China touts itself as a responsible world power during the Games, tune into our alternative Olympic programming on the web. Watch the Alternative Opening Ceremony with artists including Talib Kweli and R.E.M. and then watch Mia Farrow’s daily webcast from a Darfurian refugee camp from August 8 to 15 at www.darfurolympics.org.

We hope that you will join us in helping to bring peace to the people of Darfur.

In Peace,
Dream for Darfur

May the Lord’s Will Be Done
