I know this is going to be a controversial one, but why are people so frickin’ crazy when they come back from Kairos? SOme people claim a huge change, but rarely does it stick. After about 2 weeks people come crashing down fro Kai- High right back on to planet earth, where they belong might I add. I know its supposed to be great and I probably shouldn’t talk seeing as I haven’t gone, but from us non- retreat (I’ve only ever been onone retreat that I liked) to you please please stop acting like you do. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, but it’s weirding us out.

The Worst

The Best.

Do any of you all have jobs? Do you like it? I do, I work at forever 21,come visit me! my work schedule for next week is 4-10 on tuesday and thursday… I also work sunday 10- 2

Art With a Heart is the most amazing organization, I’m volunteering there for both my community service and religion hours. If you love kids and or art this would be a really good choice for an organization. It’s so much fun and totally fulfilling!

change is here.

The inaugration took place yesterday, I however, did not watch it *gasp*. I’m absolutely, totally, and wholly Obama-d out. I know I know but this reminds me vaguely of another president who the public loved, then kicked out of office in 4 swift years, his name was Jimmy Carter. I have no doubt tha Obama is full of good intentions, however, I think he is bound to disappoint, after all the hype and all the expectation, I think we forget he is merely mortal. I just hope that people don’t take it too hard, he has potential to be a great leader if we just stpe back and let him do his thing…

its a very moving song and video i love how it helps put a face and a name to these children in dire circumstances

Every once in a while I feel called to something greater, but day to day I’m generally just focusing on making it through. When I do have my “ah-ha” moments its usually that I want to do something artistic that also helps people. This week( I really do mean it I change my mind all the time) I feel really called to take pictures of the terrible things going on in the world. I really truly believe that if more people saw what was happening they’d be compelled to act on all those great injustices, but nowadays we just don’t have enough to make people in horrible circumstances seem real enough. its hard to remember that they’re someone’s sister wife or mother. That they’re a person just like you and I. I really admire Mev Puleo, she was an american photojournalist who took pictures of various injustices. I want to give a face to the people that generally failed to be seen. Overall, I feel as if my call is to help people. I don’t know whether that will be with my career or my downtime. I also would be really interested in doing something with kids. I’m volunteering at art with a heart and love it. Who really knows?

fill me in on the hype i just don’t get it……
