New Beginnings: April 2007

This weekend we were able to enjoy time with family, friends, and our love of baseball. On Friday we drove to Toledo to see Mark Frens who works with the Minnesota Twins' AAA team. We watched him work with the guys and saw a good baseball game. Afterwards we spent some time together catching up and hanging out. It was great to see him. Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Sunday, April 29, 2007. I was completely anguished to hear of the shootings that took place at Virginia Tech yesterday. I just gave a ...

Today at U of M we had a dialogue about religion. I was in a small group of 5 people discussing many different aspects of religion and it sparked some great thought for me. Answer some of these questions truthfully. 1 I worry about the ramifications of disclosing my religious identity to others? 2 I can easily arrange to be in the company of people of my religion msot of the time? 4 I can be fairly sure that some hate group does not exist whose goal is to eradicate my religious group from the planet?

So, I have a lot to post later on about our trip in California but I couldn't help but put this on the blog. They are identical and because Dwight is my favorite, I couldn't help myself. Enjoy. Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Monday, February 26, 2007. Pray for safe travel, great conversation, and many memories! Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Thursday, February 22, 2007. My professor identified these three needs of adolescents. 3 Connections to the Larger Society. Do you agree with these needs? Women,...

I thought this was an interesting opinion. This is why sometimes I have a hard time calling myself a "Christian." Any reactions? Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Thursday, March 15, 2007. On another note, today in class my professor said she heard something in National Public Radio today that pretty much sums up the Social Work Profession and I thought I would share it all with you. "Embrace the Suck." Plain and simple. I know many of ...We were a...

On Tuesday we did the Street Feed where we set up a table near a park and served food to all the homeless people around there. It was an amazing experience. I was able to watch our kids serve a meal to people who admitted to not having eaten in over 3 days. I also was able to talk with some people and hear about how they got to be in the place they were in. Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Monday, June 25, 2007. How would I react? How would I get out of bed in the morning? It made me think that what I ma...

What a joy to know that many of our closest friends trained with us and on their own all the with the same goals. Who knows if I will ever run another race but it did remind me that taking care of our bodies is Spiritual. Being healthy is a way of praising God and knowing more about Him. I continue to be amazed at how everything I do leads me closer to my creator. Hopefully we will have more pictures to post as we get them from our committed cheering fans! Thanks to all who came out to cheer us on!

At class this week I had some interesting discussions about when I first figured out that there were different races. I am interested in your perspective. At what age (or grade) did you first realize that there were different races? Posted by Justin and Dawn Beck @ Wednesday, January 24, 2007. It has been too long. I have just started a book called, "Reviving Ophelia" by Mary Pipher for one of my classes and thought this was an interesting quote. Then I watched this video. Top 10 From 2006. 2 Trip to Ind...

Justin and I spent last Saturday at the Big House watching Michigan beat Wisconsin in football. It was packed and very loud. The game was awesome and it was great spending time with Justin after a long week of not seeing him at all. I am beginning to wonder if the kids that are brought up as "At Risk" by teachers are really being brought up because of the student's best interest or for the teacher's best interest? Teachers seem to say, "get them out" (mainly because it is easier for them and the students...

The Tigers game last week was awesome. Here are some pics to prove it. It was great to not only spend the day with Justin but also to watch the Tigers sweet the Athletics for the ALCS championship. Go Tigers! This week was crazy with Student Leadership Starting on Tuesday morning, but I am excited about the group that is joining me. The kids are awesome and seem to have a passion to be challenged. That is nice to see. Should a bagger at Family Fare be their only option? We watched the Tigers lose to the ...

This week has been flying by. It is amazing how much school social work can really wipe you out. Monday flew by with many girls wanting to meet with me about different situations going on either at school, home, or with friends. Girl Drama never continues to amaze me. Tuesday was a day filled with observations at the elementary school, which usually involves a lot of nose picking, and then to the high school to catch up with a few girls I talked to on Monday. Yes Can I handle it? Justin and Dawn Beck.
