Today

As I am sitting on my bed watching the news about Obama and Hillary and the gas prices being record high, again, I realize that Americans really need to know who Jesus is. Not because of "where America is headed" but because in all this news broadcasting it is so evident that Americans are selfish people. We are selfish! Who cares that Madonna is getting a divorce when there are children in the world who have never seen a TV. Do you really care what celebrity is having another child? Or what athlete is in jail again for suspected drug use? There are people in the world who do not have running water. Instead of making Americans aware and motivated to fix that problem, we would much rather hear about the drama going on in someones life. Let me tell you...living without running water, sufficient medical personnel, and food IS dramatic! I want to challenge anyone who reads this to get off your butt and do something to help. Instead of going on a family vacation, go on a mission trip. Open your eyes America...we are the only country who lives the way we do. There are more poor countries than rich ones. Christians...SHOW the love that Christ showed you! Stop being passive and having this mind set that someone else will do it. Remember the Grace that God showed you by saving you and tell that to someone.

My wonderful friend, whom will remain anonymous continues to taunt me about the updated-ness of my blog. Which is the reason I am here. Ok so on to the update...After coming back from Haiti I can assure you I am not the same. There is a new perspective of life that I see. The way that people treat others in the states is completely different from the way the Haitians do. I can go on for hours about the things that I saw or learned while in Haiti, but that is for another time.
Shortly after my return from Haiti, Sarah and I went to Virginia to visit her dad. It was amazing! The mountains, the sweet tea, the dog show....everything was excellent. Her father is absolutely fabulous! I took some photo's of the state and different activities we did. Stan, her father's partner, took us to a restaurant called Macado's. It was the craziest place I had seen in awhile. The decor was interesting to say the least, but it was a great time. We also went to a dog show. This was my first experience with a dog show, and let me just tell you, it was so cool! I saw big fuzzy dogs, short fuzzy dogs, and dogs that looked like mops. We were there because Stan was showing a whip-it named Miss Minnie, and she won 2 ribbons and 1 point. I'm not quite sure what the 1 point is about, even though they explained it to me a billion times. All I know is that it was good :)
I've been home for a couple of days and on Monday I leave again to go to Logan Valley. The church that I am interning with is taking the kids to Theology Camp there. So my friend whom shall remain anonymous I won't update until I return. Camp will be fun, we're supposed to be going a float trip and doing other un-planned activities :) K that's it for now...my blog has been updated.
