the public square: save darfur

There is a lot to learn.

SaveDarfur.org has a post called "Organize your Campus" that's worth checking out...

Students across the country are joining together to help the people of Darfur. Young people have historically played a leading role in the fight for social justice; and the movement to end the genocide in Darfur has been no different. Well before most of the international…

I think it's important that we, as Christians, know whats going on in the world. This would be a way to educate yourself in the public square. It maybe isn't as cool or as flashy as invisible children yet, but it shouldn't have to be. Let's do something about this genocide.

you jump, but really, you just walk

i'm blogging now. today is the 23rd of february, in the 2007th year since the birth of Christ. That's right. i'm in pcj #11 and i am enjoying my ipod shuffle, exodus, iced coffee, and my zlaty journal. i don't get to blog much any more and i don't really know why that is. when i'm out and about i usually think of 10-15 topics that would be suitable and somewhat interesting to blog on, yet they never make it here. i'm not going to try to list them here, as my mind isn't as good at cataloging as it should be here in my 26th year. my heart is so full, i wonder if that transfers over to you, like, do you get what i mean when i say my heart is full?i just read in exodus about the instructions of what God wanted for His tabernacle, a place for Him to dwell among the people of Israel. That really makes me think about God's character, God didn't have to instruct them to build a tabernacle, but He so desires a relationship with us that He longed to be with His people. I love that. I love how God is paving the way for His Son to redeem us to Himself, so that Jesus can live in us! I don't get all of that, how it happens, the details, the transfiguration, the justification, i do get the sanctification - cause i feel it, often, that I'm being molded and shaped like dough, play dough, cookie dough, any kind of dough (thats from zoolander).
Something interesting has happened to me recently, i've started to realize the importance of what i do, way more than i did when i first joined staff. does this happen? i guess it does. there is a sense to which God only allows us to see what we need to see for the moment. His grace is sufficient, because His power is perfected in weakness.
I also, really have started to love God's word more and feel freedom in reading the Bible and spending time with the Lord, not tied or legalistic, these things I credit to Him, the one who saved me and redeems me daily.

i keep thinking

Well, you can't just stop, so in a sense, the title is lost. I do; I just keep thinking about things I want to broadcast to the world, like a dear college road blog, or a blog about settling, and perhaps one about the value of life, or about ministry, or about trajectory, or maybe about where God is leading me. There are so many possiblities, and I'm trying to catch up. I wish technology was so, that when I was thinking these things I could hit a button on my computer chip hand and my thoughts would become a blog - at a moment of my choosing. Obviously it's not always good to have your thoughts spread about a portion of webspace. Maybe just maybe I'll catch up to myself. This is a picture I took downton at the help center. I don't know why we call it that - but we do. Eventually I'll blog again. Until then...

She's memorizing catechism questions for kids...and she's not even 3. We all should aim a little higher.
