Man in the Mirror

If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change!

I love this video for a number of reasons including:
1. it talks about issues dear to the hearts of Katie and I - poverty, social injustice, compassion fatigue (being tired of doing good or overly exhausted by all the calls to action/help)and on another level it speaks clearly about the Hole in Our Gospel
2. its a great memory of Katie's visit to NYC
3. I heart Michael Jackson
4. It was a lot of fun making the video!


What I think was really interesting is that while I was watching the video on Youtube, there was an ad about sponsoring a child from WorldVision!


Katie, you did a fabulous job of putting it together, thanks!!!

How do four girls who met in China and live in different states maintain their friendship? Google + duh!!

MB, KT, Jen and I just happened to be in China at the same time. We were teachers and became very good friends as we forged an ex-pat community in rural Yichang, China. Katie and I moved back to America in 2010 and Mary and Jen moved back the following year.

Katie lives in Oklahoma, Mary Beth in South Carolina and Jen in Tennessee. We value our friendship and we make time for each other. On Tuesdays, we usually "meet" up on Google + for our virtual book club. Today we conversed on a conference call line. Thank God for technology!!!

Girls I can't wait to see you again (in the flesh!)
