Going on the Map

First update time!
Where in the World... hometown, Duplex, TN, at home, except for occasional weeks and weekends house-sitting in the vicinity.

Doing What? 

• Raising support with CRM/ Urban Mosaic (appointments, letters, phone calls) - now 65% funded.  Yay!
• Spanish translation-- spending a few hours helping an early childhood development program connect with Spanish-speaking families.
• Serving on a Stewardship Task Force at my home church: help members cast vision for the ministry of the church and respond with their own commitments to that ministry.
• Reading, praying, preparing, trying to be patient...

 So, In the Books...

• Just finished In Her Shoes (Jennifer Weiner)- a light, funny novel with moments of depth.
• Working through God of Old (James L. Kugel)- a look at the Hebrew conception of God seen in the Old Testament.
• Daily devotionals in Jesus Calling (Sarah Young)- okay, I hesitate to admit how much I love this devotional book, because it has one of those cheesy Christian book-covers and it was on a display at Barnes & Noble.  BUT its words have unique power as they're written to the reader in 2nd person ("you"), as from God/ Jesus/ Holy Spirit.  As there's a prayer or reminder to YOU each day, there are also references to the scripture verses on which they're based.

Always feel free to comment or email with suggestions of other info that would be fun to know!  It'll grow.  :)
