I’ve been leading a Bible study on the book of Malachi with some guys from my church. Also, some friends of mine decided to start a blog of a more theological nature.
So look for this blog to continue to have cute pictures and ministry updates and the new blog to have allegedly insightful posts.
My first, and only post(so far), is about the the first chapter of Malachi.
Here’s a link: Malachi 1
One of the problems I have with Christmas shopping every year is that I find so many things that I want for me. Not exactly the point of Christmas, right? Anyway, in shopping for my very cute, very geeky husband, I came across something that I love.
Can you guess what they are?
I like the green ones.
Have you figured it out yet?
Yep! Lightsaber chopsticks! For real. I think I need the green ones because Yoda is my favorite – we kind of see eye-to-eye. Literally. I think Matt should have blue because, well, he’s my hero. 🙂

I’m definitely putting these on my birthday list. It’s acceptable to find gifts for myself on that holiday, right?
The fall play this year was William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I was completely blown away by the incredible job the students did on this play. I actually got to watch it twice, and I was amazed both times.
Our friend Bethany was the director this year. I think she gave the students a true life gift by teaching them how to understand Shakespeare. This is a hard task for many people, but when you consider that most of our students are learning English as their second (or third, or fourth, or…) language, this is quite an accomplishment.
The fun thing with the play was that you could see they truly understood it. Not only that, but they truly enjoyed it. How do I know? Comedic timing. It’s everything, and they had it.
Well done kids! You are amazing!

The seniors held their annual Pancake Breakfast on November 14th. Words to describe this event: tasty, fun, delicious, early, yummy, cartoonish, mmmmmgood. The students worked really hard and were able to raise a lot of money for their senior trip. Yay! I was able to buy a basket of American food during the auction. Believe me, that made the day totally worth it! My favorite things in the basket? Diet Dr. Pepper, Cream Soda, and Chocolate Pop Tarts. I don’t know what Matt’s favorite thing is, but I do know that he’s eaten all the Frito’s.

Yesterday was Christ the King Sunday. Our friend Jady shared this video. I think it’s beautiful.
