so we just got back from a support raising seminar where we learned, among other things, to make communication pieces that aren't boring. can i say that the thought had never crossed my mind before- to make "un-boring" pieces of communication, that is. actually, i'm pretty excited about the idea and now i have a better excuse to spend all my free time messing about with the adobe suite. here are our most recent creations, and yes i have to confess that i stole the first layout design from an article in paste magazine and the second from a layout in bike magazine. cheers to non-boring communication piece #1 and #2.

i'm enjoying the olympics. when i first saw that visa "go world" commercial, i thought it was silly. now i kind of cry when it comes on.
i'm consuming a lot of honey lately. i put it in and on a lot of things-- bread, tea, peanut butter. should i be worried since, due to a freaky & mysterious plague, honey bees are dropping like flies (or bees)?
we're going to ozark, ar in two weeks. i like ozark, ar, though i've only been there to stop at the mcdonald's and another time when i drove across the bridge. so pretty.
i'm going to watch more olympics now. "go world." (tear)

"how can i just look up and talk to God, if i don't know that this person is up there listening to me? how can i pray? how can i believe in him?"
this is an excerpt from an article npr did on a summer camp for atheists and agnostics. here is another part of the conversation with some campers:
"i call myself a christian," he says, "but if i get proof that there is no God and no christianity is a wild goose chase, then i would completely abandon it."
"if God really really wanted us to know he existed, he'd make daily appearances: like, 'it's 3:15. oh, it's God time!'"
reading the article had me wondering why a camp would base its foundation upon developing agnostic thinking. then i thought maybe its because we just want to be around other people like us. what do you think a loving, christian response to camps like this is? or do we even need to react? i'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions/comments. this article was really fascinating to me. you can read it
