Home
Whenever I leave my house (in Gilbert) to drive back to my other house (in Tucson) I always feel a little bit sad. I love that I still have a home with my parents even though I'm away about 92% of the year. I'm blessed to have a dad that makes me fried egg sandwiches and doesn't mock me when I'm stupid about car stuff. I also love that I have a mom that is a wonderful example of a compassionate nurse and takes me out for lunch.

Thank You, Pioneer Woman.
I started today, in lieu of watching the Superbowl.
The always-popular and super-blogger, Pioneer Woman, has launched me on this journey. I found a link on her page and promptly decided to make them. And OH BOY are they delicious!

avoiding
I'm obsessed with staying connected. I text more than I should. I check my e-mail more than I should. I'm on Twitter just to follow people I will never meet just because I like to know about them. My homepage is set to MSNBC so I stay current on news.
Yes, a tragedy just happened and I know so little about it. No, not because information about the earthquake in Haiti is not available, but because I avoid it. I don't even wait for the homepage to load before I click to check my e-mail or facebook just so I can stay ignorant and self-centered. Deep down I think it's because I would rather stay emotionally distant from sad situations or situations which may require action on my part. It's easier.
One problem with this - my God is not the God of "easier." He never claims to be.
This should stimulate me. I should stop avoiding, be willing to become burdened for a situation and be moved to action.

Christians and Coffee Shops
I'm sitting in the Starbucks in Barnes and Nobel, listening to at least 4 Christian people around me. What is it with Christians and coffee shops? I get the appeal, but as a person, not just someone who loves Jesus. Is their a specific reason people who love Jesus love gathering around caffeine? Is it because Jesus loves coffee?
My cousin always used to say "If you want to meet a Christian girl go to Starbucks on a Sunday morning before church." Now, I would postulate that you could expand this to pretty much any time during the day any day of the week. They're easy to pick out too...they have their Bible and journal out on the table, often stare into space (I think they're praying...) if they are alone, or they are meeting with their accountability partner or mentor and talking about apologetics or church or prayer, loudly enough for you to hear.
So, really, if you have a theory why they're (or we're if I'm being honest) always in coffee shops lets me know in the comments section.
