I spent the two hours that I now set aside for lunch cooking up a storm. It looked like vegetables threw up in my kitchen. There was lots of smoke, and a few very small fires in the oven (apparently olive oil and broiling don't mix so well).

So the hubby and I have decided to go cold avacado (versus cold turkey) into vegetarianism. We are going to try it for 30 days and then see what we think. So where did this come from?

Set in 1938 Colonial India, against Mahatma Gandhi's rise to power, an 8-year-old Chuyia is widowed and sent to a home where Hindu widows must live in penitence. Chuyia's feisty presence deeply affects the lives of the other residents, including a young widow, who falls for a Gandhian idealist.
What does it mean to be a healing community?

My boss asked me this question the other day and it has been rolling around in my head ever since, plaguing me if you will. I listen to Rob Bell a lot and a lot of what he has to say has to do with living in 'Jesus community,' living in line with the way that God designed us to live. God calls us to healing, He calls us to life in the fullest. He does not call us to busy-ness, this running around trying to accomplish this, that, and the other thing. God says, "I made you to love me. I made you to find all your dreams fulfilled in me. In me. Not in money. Not in stuff. Not in anything. But me. And because of that I want to romance you. I want to enjoy you. I do enjoy you. I love you."

I had to give this one 2 stars on Netflix because it was really predictable. I kept expecting some kind of interesting plot twist (i.e. Snatch, Memento,etc.) but nothing. Bad guys come. Bad guys do bad stuff. Bad guys are all destroyed by the cunning Harrison Ford (who's what, like 80?) Yeah. Not so good.
Health Care

Just finished reading this article about Barak Obama, and I have to say that I'm a little disappointed in his thoughts on health care.
Difficult Lives

Working with the young women that I do tests my mental capacities at times. Last night, meeting together with a full group we had one girl who was visibly depressed and I know that she suffers from depression because of her past abuse. My heart simply breaks for her. I can see in her eyes the hurt and desperation that she is living in and I want so badly to lift that off her shoulders.
