My friend Tracy introduced me to this site, and it has definately been illuminating to me. This site is dedicated to giving information on companies and goods that we often consume on a daily basis. Check it out for yourself at www.betterworldshopper.com. Here is a good screen shot:

A Good Coffee

So I had coffee with a friend of mine the other day at Cafe Carpe Diem. If you haven't yet visited Carpe Diem, you are missing out. Free Trade and Organic Coffee in a really chic looking place. Good prices, and great coffee. Its on the corner of University Ave and Herman Ave.

As my friend Lauren and I were talking, she reminded me just how lame I have been at keeping my blog up. I know I've made a lot of unfulfilled promises to get back on it, but at last, I am challenging myself to do it. Hold me accountable if you'd like with nagging emails and scathing text messages...

EMC 2008

The "Everything Must Change Tour" happened last weekend at Missiongathering and went off. I had an amazing time getting to know Linnea (from Deep Shift) and Tracy Howe (the worship leader for the tour). Great event, great music, and some great conversations were had throughout the weekend. Thank you to all who were involved, and here is a cool photo of yet another FILIPINO worship leader (we are taking over the world!).

So I got a new toy... and I love it... and I made some cool wallpapers for it. Enjoy.

Food For Thought

To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.

Sanctuary Rocks

We had a great sanctuary tonight. Our discussion really shed some light on some things that i've been feeling and kind of working out in my head lately. I will get into those tomorrow, but the basic underlying tone of the discussion was on sexism. Within our culture, how it influences our cultural view of homosexuality, how it impacts our faith, and even how it impacts Missiongathering. I really loved the conversation and I am excited to see where it leads us....

for now though... sleep.

Some Flash Love

So I opened up Adobe Flash CS3 for the first time and took a user crash course for the last 45 minutes. Looks like a fun program... can't wait until I get some more time under my belt for this thing... Check out www.missiongathering.com for my handy work in the banner.

Happy Saturday

"Ask a deeply religious Christian if he’d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don’t seem so bad lately."

I know Its been a while...

Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?
