this is andrea, maggie and nora. our family's contigent in nashville.

autumn is in full swing. i don't want it to end...
lots of different things going on lately.
here are some of them.

i'm going to the u2 concert with or without you.
i may have company, i may not. either way, i'm going.
here are some additional things on my mind lately...

now, i realize that this is old news-
but these are some other things on my mind lately that i've been perculating on:

i think it is fantabulous that athletes are held accountable for thier attitudes and words. i hope this is a trend.

here are some links to scary reports about the US military using chemical weapons in iraq.

still following this fairly peaceful and hopefully democratic election in west africa.

also praying for things in darfur to progress for the better.
have mercy oh God, have mercy.

and is it bad that i pray that richard mugabe will die soon?
my projection is that after his death;
it will come to light that zimbabwe surpasses our worse nightmares w/ the aids problem

a quick shout out to my old friend marsha who finally started blogging.

today's chewable vitamin:
"discipleship is not limited to what you can understand – it must transcend all comprehension. plunge into the deep waters beyond your own understanding, and i will help you to comprehend.
bewilderment is the true comprehension. not to know where you are going is the true knowledge. in this way Abraham went forth from his father, not knowing where he was going. that is the way of the cross. you cannot find it in yourself, so you must let me lead you as though you were a blind man.

not the work which you choose, not the suffering you devise, but the road which is contrary to all that you choose or contrive or desire – that is the road you must take. it is to this path that i call you, and in this sense that you must be my disciple."
