bethany's parents used to tell her to eat her carrots because she wouldn't need glasses if she did. they reasoned that rabbits don't need glasses, so she wouldn't either. my parents told me that i would be able to see in the dark like my cat if i ate mine.
funny thing is, we both believed them. and we ate our carrots. why do we believe our parents about things like this, and when do we get to the point where we don't believe them anymore? even if they still (STILL) usually know what's best.
anyway, i suck at updating. especially about anything important. one of my [former] students told me that i was stupid for putting directions to my house on phusebox, so now everyone knows where i live...but, um, it's in the phonebook. not to mention none of them can DRIVE and by the time they can they won't care about me anymore.
last night me and my friend justin talked about calling versus passion. i remember ellie and i having several conversations about the same thing. he asked me what my passion was, and for the first time i was able to answer without hesitation..."kids." but not any kids...just teenagers. however, my calling is now to teach them...but that's not the purpose of my life. so maybe it should be calling versus passion versus purpose. ohhhh...hmmm. i need to think about that one some more.
bethany and sarah and i also got to talk to the other brother for a while last night...it was really nice, because as i told him - i know nathan pretty well, but i like getting to know him too. and the conversation was good...God is so cool.
i have been reading this book by ryan dobson (son of james) about tolerance and moral relativism...it's great. everyone should read it. especially those who think you can love the world and follow Christ...he proves it impossible.
well, i get to go to nyc july 6-9, which is not nearly enough time...but it's better then nothing.
p.s. Bible study girls...reread the directions to my house and tell me I didn't say "left." Right. I do give good directions after all. HA.
p.p.s if i talked to you about coming to the Bible Study and you need a ride or something...let me know!

i think i agree that calling and passion and purpose are all different. i want to think on that one too. and if i were there the three of us could ride around town and discuss.
