thirtyone

Today I am thirty one. I guess it makes my parents feel older than I feel :-) Great news... the all points bulletin worked - I found my headlamp. Woohoo. I was very saddened at the prospect of losing it. I seem to be losing more these days. My bedroom is the Bermuda Triangle. However, the triangle has been coming together today. Finally.

I am getting ready to go to Pass Christian, Mississippi to do some hurricane relief stuff with the Mennonite Disaster Service. I am really looking forward to it. The three people going with me are Jeremy, Rachel and Matt. Matt looks like an anglo-hollywood Jesus. I saw an illustration of Jesus yesterday as a clown. I don't know how I feel about it. It talked about Him as a clown that mocked world systems, politics and religions and did fun things like pay taxes from a coin that was found in the mouth of a fish or entering the city on a donkey. I suppose these could be "clown-ish" things, however, I did not like my Lord depicted as a clown... too many bad connotations to override any positive ones. This particular video I watched also talked about the eschatalogical parallels that are in the circus. Again, a stretch.... although an amusing one.
Besides, I have never cared much for circuses or clowns.

Si se puede.
