chief

Could the presence of a Best Buy be a sign of a "developed" nation?
It's full of things that you don't "need" or can't afford if you're poor.
I know it's a big temptation of mine...all those movies and cd's and ipod accessories and digital cameras and printers and computers and big screen tvs...

things i can totally live without and, yet, seem to snatch up (the smaller items anyway...) like they're food!

I recently decided to sponsor a child through World Vision. This will take $35 from me a month. When I think about it on my summer paycheck, it seems like a lot...but then I just went and spent $25 on dvds!!!

I told myself that I would watch how I spent my money so that I could put my Brazilian child first...



people are selfish.
Americans are selfish.

and I am their chief

thoughts on leaving bible study

i am really amazed at how, once God brings something to my attention, he continues to do so over and over again.

i am really, for once, actually humbled at the opportunity to be a part of his work. i am so excited about what is happening in the life of my friend.

i'm starting to get annoyed at one of my friends in the study. it's not that she says things that i belive are untrue, it's the way she says them. it's basically my problem. i just feel like she drones on and on when she wants to make a point. and her manner seems forced somehow. and tonight, she prayed and prayed and prayed...
i found it odd because recently we had discussed the passage that talks about letting our words be few before God...sigh. i'm just easily annoyed i guess. and arrogant. i feel bad about saying anything to anyone here, and i'm not mentioning names, and i don't think anyone even reads this...so i can get it out without all the ..whatever.
