New Fundraising Pictures

Wouldn't you be willing to give money if you saw a poster of this miserable child?

(I'm just kidding about this being a new fundraising picture. I just think its a funny picture of Sad, I mean Syd, my niece!)

She's saying "PawPaw made me cry then took my picture. What kind of cruel game is this?"

Grammy was out playing in the streets and couldn't protect her from the fierce toy box lid.

Indianapolis General Council

I arrived in Indianapolis for the Assemblies of God General Council this afternoon after two flights (including one where the woman next to me wore a surgical mask, as if I had the Plague--or even scarier, she did). Tired and hot, I caught a taxi, and the taxi driver was from Africa; once I mentioned that I had been to Senegal, he wanted to be my new best friend. We spoke in French the rest of the ride. I had a chance to hang out with my good friends Christy and Brandy, who are other single missionaries, and my roommates in the hotel this week. Tomorrow I'll attend the pre-Council seminar sessions on leadership, before the first official evening service tomorrow night. Don't worry, I'll keep you informed on the exciting events of our fellowship here.

A lot of work for cheap bookshelves!

Continuing the “catch-up” on old posts . . . Feb. 25, 2006 I thought you would enjoy the (mis)adventures of my day today. I had the day off of work, so I decided to go to Ikea to get some bookshelves. Ah, the beauty of a plan! Are you also one of those people with a “to-do list,” evenly checked or crossed off, that keeps you on track? My whole life seems in order when I have that piece of scrap paper in hand, telling me what to do next! So this morning, I was up, ready and out the door by 9:00AM. Ikea is six or seven exits up the beltway, so it’s about 20 minutes. I was actually early. They opened at 10:00 AM, so I sat in the car and made a grocery list, because I have no food in the house (having been gone all last week). In fact, I had so little food, I had to eat French pastries for breakfast (the only store open yesterday was the corner bakery). Now, I know you are thinking, “French pastries? Poor Ariel!” But really, I don’t like to eat them for breakfast because they ...

The Shadow Proves the Sunshine

Image
I have a commute to work every day. Until our office moves in a few weeks, I continue to drive thirty minutes to work and thirty minutes back. I spend that time either deep in thought—once I even missed my exit—or singing at the top of my lungs. I suppose it depends on my mood. I try to redeem the time by listening to French music, learning through musical osmosis, if you will. But sometimes I take a break and this week I am listening to Switchfoot ’s second album, Nothing is Sound . My brother and I are both fans of Switchfoot, and we spent some time over my vacation discussing the merits of our various favorite songs. Until this week, I wouldn’t have said much about the song, “The Shadow Proves the Sunshine.” It’s got a fairly singable melody, but it wasn’t one that jumped out at me. However, this past week, I was reading Psalm 22, which starts with “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” One of the most famous quotes of Jesus as he was dying on the cross, this reference stayed ...
