Fighting for Justice

Today I received an email from my pastor. Along with news and other such things about happenings in the church, he included this video:





I also came across something else today.

I subscribe to the LA Homeless Blog and today's entry was entitled: They Got Him. I felt happy as I had been reading about this case for a while, but the entirety of the entry made me sad. I felt like there was a very close link between this video and the article... people don't care. We say we care. But if we did care, wouldn't we do something about the babies or about the homeless? Instead, we give lip service to our 'passions' and do nothing about them. That isn't caring.

Do I actually REALLY care? Sometimes I'm not so sure...

Random Info!

Every so often on facebook some sort of survey will float around. I don't usually do them but I thought this one would be fun. I had to just write 16 random things about myself. This was actually super hard! Enjoy!

1. If I could eat Peanut Butter on everything, I would.

2. If I ever have my own dog, I want a Mastiff... or a Scottish Terrier. lol

3. I don't have the typical dreams of one day living in a mansion; I would really love to live with the people in the projects.

4. I have grown to really love theatre - not all the fancy-schmancy stuff (although that's still cool) - the intimate theatre type stuff really fascinates me.

5. I totally got a rush from sneaking into the after party for the Wall-E world premiere with Beth... I am ready for more sneaky adventures! :)

6. Turns out I like and appreciate the quietness and beauty of the desert more than I let on.

7. I like every kind of music, except for the screaming stuff... you can't understand what they are saying anyway!

8. I really want to get better at crocheting... and I am sure next will be playing bingo. lol

9. I rarely watch movies anymore. I think I have become one of those weirdos who would rather NOT go see a movie. Weird! haha

10. I have two kids. Their names are Issa and Koretha. They live in Africa. I want more!

11. I am already finding gray hair. Eek!

12. I have never been farther east than Illinois... and that was when I was five.

13. I was in karate when I was little. I only got to yellow belt...

14. I rarely watch TV... But LOVE Seinfeld, I Love Lucy, and Mork and Mindy... pretty much all the stuff that isn't airing anymore!

15. I secretly miss working at the stadium. But that's a secret. Don't tell!

16. I am my niece's favorite aunt. It's true Courtney. Deal with it.
