China Baby

To the glory of God, our church has developed a heart for orphans all around the world. yes, i know it's trendy, but its still good. as one who is generally resistant to bandwagons i have learned that some things can be trendy AND good at the same time (see mens v necks as women's shirts, slap bracelets, justin timberlake and serve-yourself-yogurt bars). so all that to say, we've had several international adoptions in our church within the past few years, and i LOVE it. why? because foreign babies are often cuter than american babies and i can be a little inappropriate and call this little one "the china baby."

oh yeah, and what brought all this up? our friend danny just sent me an email to ask if chinese babies were invited to our party.

is it too late to become rebellious?

sometimes when i watch movies about people that rebel against powers that be in order to pursue the greater good it makes me want to be more rebellious. yesterday i did a little bit of sticking it to the man myself. i think harry potter would be proud. that's right - i
a. snuck into a sold out movie
b. carried in contraband candy and (are you ready for this) . . . a salad.

and yes, every time someone in an official red vest walked in i quickly stashed my salad and tried to look nonchalant. maybe being rebellious takes some practice.

Dear Girl Scouts,

i keep hearing rumors that it's girls scout cookie time. please come to my door and save me the trouble of combing every wal-mart parking lot within 20 miles.

save us both the trouble.
