bumper sticker!

hey there friends! how are you? how's life? things here are ok. i spent monday at the hospital with my dad, going to various appointments and meeting with different doctors. it was good to be able to hear them talk and say that dad was heading in the right direction. they also switched to a different brand/type of interferon and they think it will be less irritating to his system and work better. so yay. but it was exhausting to do that all day. it is also spring in state college, and i am reminded that ever since i moved home, i'm allergic to this damn town. i feel like crap and there's just not a whole lot that can be done. oh well. at least it's not snowing out.

my yoga teacher emailed me and asked if i could write a little blurb for her new brochure. and also said that i look like i'm having fun and able to adjust poses and flows if i need to and still getting it. that made me feel like i'm not a yoga failure :O)

um, oh for the high school and then college kids i'm asking them to write their own faith related bumper sticker.

My bumper sticker would say

“It’s not all about you”

For me so much of being a Christian is the chance to serve other people. Whether it’s volunteer work out of town, or the USA, or helping out teaching Sunday school or babysitting at church. The service we are called to do and the community in which we are blessed to do it are the best and most important parts of Christianity. So my bumper sticker is a reminder, like someone is saying it to me. “Rachel, it’s not all about you”. That’s all I need to help ground me in my faith.

anyone out there have a bumper sticker they'd like to share? hope you are all having a lovely week. frannie, the wedding invites are AMAZING i can't wait for the wedding!

love and hugs to my favorite people

Raquel, you're going international.

My faith-based bumper sticker would probably go something like this...

"To each their own", or:

"It's not all about you. It's all about Natron", or:

"My god is better than your g-d".

And I digress...
