RECIPES FOR DISASTER
Just kidding, sistah. No disaster at all. I called my sister today for a recipe to make some kind of meaty substance to take to a potluck deal. It was yummy. But then, there are the left overs... do you leave them at the host's home, or do you take them home yourself. I know my roomies would thoroughly enjoy them and frankly, I did not know the hosts all that well. When would I get my dishes back? I dont know. Is there an etiquette book about this?
The party itself was very fun. It was for my instructor at the much beloved HoneyRock (see link). It seems there has been reformatting of the programs there and he has found himself released of his position. In short, it all sucks very much. However, he urged us to not be upset and looking for someone or something to blame. Rather, we are to pray for the place, for the leadership and for his family. They are amazing people, very gracious. I love the place, but I will admit, I get angry at times. I know it still is full of amazing people and potential. I am sad the graduate program that changed my life so much, visibly or not, has been canned.
This blog is much more serious than usual. I understand that life is not to be taken as anecdotal humor and random occurances. It is just those things that keep me smiling - I therefore, generally wish to pass them on. I have many a serious issue to take up with the world at large. I will start with the protestant church. Being a conservative evangelical myself, although I recently just came face to face with this fact about myself, I feel we have majorly dropped the ball in terms of any kind of social justice or ecological issue. As we try to pick up the pieces, let us not be concerned with what side of the political spectrum we will appear to fall into. Let us just love people and be good stewards of the earth as we are called to do. It has nothing to do with war protesting and tree hugging. It has to do with living out our call on a daily basis in every way. We need to be extreme. My soap box is over. If anyone even reads my blog, please know that I will be much lighter again in my next entry.
Peace be with you - spiritually, physically and socially.
