Walking Tall

So I have been walking to work in May, even though there have been a few days I did drive. It is hard to not take time and look around you when you are walking to and from work. The trees are prettier. The birds are great in the morning-singing to me, flying across to and fro. The green of this time of year is quite beautiful also to watch. Sometimes I walk quietly and pray. Sometimes I just ask God to speak to me and listen. Sometimes I listen to the ipod-which by the by is arguably the best invention by humans-EVAR!-and I had forgotten how much I like music. I mean when I was in college, I would go to the record store (because that is what it was called-"New Moon Records" and peruse the used CD's and trade some in and get new ones. Listen to music, then trade again to get something new. Sometimes if I really liked it, I would keep it. Of course, my home slice Rod used to work there so I got a great discount. ANYWHO-back to the story-
Walking to work has been great. I so look forward to the walk to work in nyc, I wonder often as I walk to work where I will be walking to and from. I can tell you I do know that I will see more people on my walk there than I do here. I look forward to that. I love walking. When I went to school in Ecuador, I would walk a different route each day. I can't wait to do that in nyc.
You should try walking somewhere too. Even if you live on a road that is dirt. :)

I have tried walking on my road that is dirt. Ruthless neighbors refuse to drive under 50mph! Rock to the head doesn't feel so good!

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
