I can't believe it but it's another September. The summer is over, school is back and there are a million things happening at once.
Next week I leave for a mission trip (ASP) to Virginia and the following week I leave for vacation with high school friends Will and Joe to Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. It all promises to be an extraordinary time in which I feel immensely blessed to be able to partake in.
As for the church, things are moving a thousand miles an hour there but I'm loving it. I'm focusing my time and energy on Middle School and, amusingly, I believe I'm a good fit for that position. I've learned a thing or two about responsibility and am constantly reminded in the unseen demands that ministry calls on the mind, physical strenth, the heart and the spirit. It's exhausting but the end cause (aka the glory of God) makes it all worth it. Needlesstosay that working in the church has been and is still teaching so much of our need for God's presence in our lives and our godly presence in this world.
I just watched Earth (the documentary that BBC and Disney made for Earth Day 2009) and it was UNBELIEVABLE. The videography, the facts and information, the absolute beauty of our planet (oh and James Earl Jones' narrating also...of course!) made this movie a MUST-SEE! I don't know how people could watch something like this and not believe in a wonderful Creator at work throughout all time and in our very lives today.
I'm off to get some sleep now but my mind is filled with new adventures that my heart is just crying out to experience. One day...

The beauty of the world might be appreciated more without belief in a Creator--someone's achievements are made less when we think they are born with their talents.
Also, when you revert to your evangelical mind, you are no longer seeing the beauty. We are distracted from the beauty when we think of something other than its beauty, eg., "how can people not believe in a Creator?"
