Church at Willow

This morning I went to church at Willow Creek because I couldn't get my butt out of bed early enough to go to my usual Lutheran church. Also, I start to miss contemporary worship if I haven't done it in a while. I got a lot out of church this morning. The sermon was about hearing God speak to you through scripture. And that's exactly how it is with me. I don't hear God's voice very often, and I know it's my fault because I'm so bad about prayer and that kind of thing. But when I do hear from God, it's almost always through a Bible verse popping into my head. So I've always thought that I need to be better at memorizing more Bible verses. We had lots of memory work to do for confirmation class and also in college, but I've neglected it since then. Today was a great reminder about what I need to be doing. I now have post-it notes of Bible verses plastered to my bathroom mirror to help me with my memorization.

I also fell in love with a song that a soloist did at church this morning. She sang a Sara Groves song called "He's Always Been Faithful." She sounded just like Sara Groves and it was absolutely gorgeous. I wanted to post a video of her singing it, but all I could find on YouTube was this lame video of rainbow pics. So listen to the song and ignore the video. :)

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
