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...
- 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.
