Jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout." -walt whitman. November 28, 2006. A Growing Hatred. (A Rant). My hatred of MSN and facebook, and other such tools of the devil, is growing these days. (I don't even use facebook, and have promised myself I never will, merely because it takes so much time, and I'd rather be doing other things. Plus, it intimidates me.:). But this is not the point. Obviously, it's good for some things, but as a tool for conversation and relationship, its suck...

Jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout." -walt whitman. October 31, 2006. Palestine is still the issue. What you won't see on CNN. Awhile ago I mentioned a film that I'd seen in my history class called, "Palestine is still the issue.". Obviously it is coming from a certain view point, but it's not the things you hear everyday. I thought it was pretty amazing, and you can watch it right here on google video. I don't think you'll regret it. Posted by Maria Elyse at 2:33 PM. PS Sarah...

Jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout." -walt whitman. May 28, 2006. A list of sorts. I feel like it is next to an impossible task to write something that will sum up my time in Africa, but I will have to be satisfied with giving you some highlights and I will be absolutely excited when you run into me and ask for more stories. I'll bombard you I promise. Walking away and leaving all of everything that seemed familiar I began to think, Why am I here again? Ruth, hands down. I...

Jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout." -walt whitman. July 16, 2006. So far this summer. I've traveled to South Africa. Swam in the Indian Ocean. Dressed up as a big Gecko and went to Canadian Tire to buy a bbq. Jumped into the St. Clair river in my clothes with Pastor Mario, AUBRAY, Bethany, Mike and Maegan at the Church Staff picnic. Had a fishing derby in Twin Lakes where we didn't catch anything, but had five people in a canoe. Jumped into the river under the bridge! I was l...
