Just some random thoughts!

While looking at my blog I saw that It's been awhile since I last wrote an entry! I'm now ready to catch all of you readers up on the Life of Rachel...

Since you last read my blog, I've save a puppy from death, graduated from seminary, met the man of my dreams and had three kids! So as you can see I've been very busy these last five days! For those of you who don't understand my sarcastic humor, I have some ocean front property in Iowa to sell you!


Ok, now for the serious update. Life has been treating me well! I been busy with reading, writing my first grad paper (it was a pretty easy assignment so to some it might not count as a paper, but I feel like counting it so there!), have had some very interesting class lectures and found out that my new testament professor looks (minus the white hair) and sounds like Donald Sutherlan (Mr. Bennett in the new pride and prejudice and Keefer's Dad). When asked about the resemblance, he tried to persuade us that Donald was his Uncle.

Yesterday we had a community potluck for the complex I live in. It was fun! Lots of good food to enjoy! I made my pasta salad, which I am very glad to say I finally got right this time (sooooooo excited). The evening ended up with us sitting around a fire pit singing and just having great conversation. I love the people in my complex.

Today, I finished writing my paper, met a friend for coffee and we ended up talking about youth ministry for 2 hours, had dinner with my roomie, watched Greys again, and then ended up reading a chapter in one of my books.

Over all it has been a pretty relaxing weekend, I wish I could have gotten more done, but oh well!

OK, I should go to bed so I can get up and do a lot of reading before going to church tomorrow night!

Quotes

"To discover the forgotten poor is more that the work of "social action", as some would call it. It is rather to put our Bibles back togeather again. Indeed, it is nothing less than to restore the integrity of the Word of God--in our lives, our congregations, our communities and our world." -- Jim Wallis; God's Politics

"He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God."
--Micah 6:8

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."
-- Martin Luther

"Our political leaders, after all, are just that--political. No mater what their faith, or lack thereof, they are just plain old people doing a plain old job. They can't save America. It isn't in their job description. They can make changes at the margins by helping a bit here and there. But, ultimately, the work of America is our work. And my ultimate hope is back where it should be--not with fishing, not with politics, but with God."
--David Kuo; Tempting Faith
