pre sleep post

today was a weird day. i felt so burdened for haiti. yesterday someone tried to kidnap the people who are running the orphanage we are going to visit this summer. things are so real right now to me. here in america it's easy to get blinded by all the stuff and commercialism. i don't even know how to describe the heavy burden on my heart today. I know this was an attack and m' ap priye pou ayiti and our trip. Our first trip meeting was Saturday and I have another meeting tomorrow about another trip coming up. i'm excited to serve, practice my creole and to show alicia what this obsession of mine is all about and to see the kids again.

i'm trying not to complain about the heat. a fan would be nice though.

Blogging from Word

I just found out I can blog from word.

I made this cool thing using yahoo pipes. It gets different blogs and puts them together into one. I've put an example up at http://www.maisondelumiere.org/news.htm

Good times

so tired

this weekend was so busy. i really want to get out of here, both of us do. i'm really sick of this comfortable life, part of me even wants to move the ghetto just to shake things up. do i feel called to do that? not really. although it would save money! but everybody here is so worried about being safe, we never get outside of our comfort zones. even people that i figure would have had their eyes open to the fact that Jesus or his apostles were not safe by our standards. sometimes i feel like moving churches but maybe the solution is to find a church in a different country where we have to pray to get by. americans don't need to pray. look at all we have, why would we pray? it's just another one of those annoying things that gets in the way of our life.

people in haiti eat dirt cookies, but we can go to eat whenever we want. today someone dropped donuts on the floor at church. part of me was thought ew. gross. haha. as one pastor said when we saw this... in haiti they're eating THE ground. next time i'm in haiti i want to get some dirt cookies. maybe not to eat, i don't know that I would do that.

waiting for june... waiting for march 29 2011
