Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Hadley loves to draw, especially with markers. Here are some of her latest masterpieces. Can you guess what/who this is? Noit's not cousin "It" - It's her dear old mom! When I asked what she was drawing she said, "Drawing Mommy! Long, beautiful hair! The second drawing she said is "Baby Jesus in the hay." So sweet. Sunday, January 1, 2012. We had a totally wild and crazy New Year's Eve at home with the kids this year! We relaxed and read books. 1) Read through the Bible at lea...

Tuesday, September 13, 2011. It meant something to that one. You know that old story about the kid who tries to save all the starfish who washed up on the beach? The naysayer says you can never make a difference to all of them but the kid says, as he tosses one in the water- I made a difference to that one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Leaving for Paris in just a few short days! Ill arrive just in time to celebrate a very special birthday. Almost done packing (not that I am eager or anything). I will spend most of my remaining time in Salem cramming french grammar (its like a 4-week long test coming up) and soaking up the first glorious days of summer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I am now the readiness specialist for 3 counties in Oregon, tasked with liaising, teaching and recruiting for American Red Cross disaster services. It felt so good to put in my resignation at TNF!

one sweet world: Its always sunny on Mondays

Its great because its not a destination spot, but more of a happenstance. I really love it. The strawberries here taste like oregon strawberries, and you...

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. From a New Vantage Point: the ACCUSED. Callixte Kalimanzira was read his second, and final judgment last week at the ICTR. Take a second to consider the accusations against this man. In 2008 he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for charges of genocide and public incitement to genocide. What could a man like this look like? I felt the weight of this mans burden, and his family's burden in the room. Heavy. Suffocating. But then it was time for lunch. A note: genocide is a ver...
