Pondering Homelessness...

As some fellow church members have been really getting involved in local homeless ministries, I have really been considering this huge need. I have been so convicted about how critical I can be when I see a homeless person. I dare to think, "Is he really homeless? Is he just faking it?" or worse, I may see someone and be really burdened and not do anything. So often, I do not even pray.

There are over 10,000 homeless people in Louisville each year. You can read about it here. I hope to share some more things we are learning about ways to get involved. For now, I long for grace to start opening my eyes and heart to see and love them.

The Gospel is for so many more people than just middle-class "safe and white" Americans.

Ratatouille

Anyone else like the movie Ratatouille?
We really enjoyed it!

Now, I'm curious what the dish made popular by the movie tastes like?
I'm hoping to find out soon. It's a peasant dish, right, so maybe it will fit within the tight seminary budget. :)
Go here to find the recipe. Makes me kind of wish I already had a houseful of older kids who were in love with the movie to come over and make it with me. How fun would that be!

Yippee!!

Everything's Happened On Schedule

We were listening to some old cd's this weekend, and I was reminded just how good these lyrics are from Caedmon's Call. I'm sure many of you know this song. I thought it was also a good one to write out on a note card and keep on my desk at work. I think it's good to be reminded that God is Sovereign over the details as well as the big stuff.

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt
