A Birthday in Bethlehem!

Wandering in the Desert
May 4. Today was a full day. We got a look at the Old Testament by traveling into the Negev desert to discover places like these: Tel Be'er Sheva (which appears in many Genesis texts--from Abraham to Jacob--and was the southern border of the Kingdom of Judah) Tel Arad (which includes the only Judean temple that's been uncovered with the Holy of Holies intact) Dead Sea (which gets its name because its 33% salt and nothing can live in it--compared to oceans which contain 2-4% salt; we also got to float in it!) Masada (which was Herod's fortress and was... Continue reading

So timely...
I've got a ton of digital photos from the last 10 years (spread across a couple of computers and external hard drives). Whenever I've tried to organize them (whether iPhoto or ACDSee or Picasa), I feel overwhelmed trying to figure out what folders, tags, or categories to use.
Help!
give.away.day. featuring RENEE PEARSON & MOLLY NEWMAN
Did you decide to do a 365 project this year? Are you sinking beneath the 2146 photos that you took as you captured the 76 (thus far) daily photos? Have you spent time hunting for that particular photo that you took for your everyday life album? You know the one. The one where you were wearin...

February 22. Catch-up on publishing some blog posts...and a little frustration because I saved a bunch of posts as drafts, and now they appear out of order. I also need to go back through and add the daily images because I've gotten behind on uploading from my camera to my laptop. I'm definitely looking forward to two weeks from now. Between now and March 6, I'm teaching FLOW, continuing my Lenten practices group, editing like a mad-woman for the new confirmation resource we're developing at sparkhouse, studying for my ACE Group Fitness certification exam, and participating in the JoPa First...

February 20. The Bethlehem youth participated in the 30 Hour Famine this weekend. Starting after lunch on Friday, they didn't eat anything for 30 hours. Along with the usual youth group games, the kids also spend a lot of time serving and learning about hunger, both local and global. So today I worked with the kids to sort food and stock the food shelf at CES, which gives out 50,000+ pounds of food each month in addition to many other amazing services for the local community. I definitely want to volunteer there again. Then we took the group to Feed... Continue reading

February 19. Brent and two other buddies had a hockey game tonight, so I pulled together a quick triple-date. We went to Chatterbox Pub for dinner and a little Apples to Apples action before their game in Highland Park. And the best set of cards for the evening: Unhealthy: Exorcism, Spontaneous Combustion, Celine Dion, Detroit, and My Love Life*. Continue reading

February 16. I don't think I'll be able to settle for generic grocery-story brand hummus* again after making my own tonight. Who knew chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, olive oil, and a little salt could combine to create something so delicious? * Exception: Holy Land hummus. Delicious! Continue reading

February 13. I think I'm finally finding my groove as a BODYFLOW instructor. A week after the big launch, I taught a medium-sized class. Even with clients who were new to the release, I still felt like I had control of the room and was able to lead a positive class. Now, I just need to keep learning more names... Continue reading

February 12. Lara and I talked and walked laps around the mall tonight. Several hours and close to 4 miles. I do laugh every now and then when I'm talking to friends who live further away. The mall--the one I consider my mall--is actually Mall of America. Am I losing my "country girl" cred? Continue reading
