I watched Evan Almighty yesterday, and I have to say that it was one of the best movies I have seen in quite awhile. We took the Day Camp kids to see it, and we were pleasantly surprised at how much even they liked the movie.

I was really amazed at how not-wrong the theology was in the movie. I don't usually watch the "Christian" movies, because they're usually corny and often badly made, not to mention badly theologized. But this one was different.

The best part of this movie was the message about how to change the world. I love the message of challenging one problem at a time through one act of random kindness at a time. There are just some amazing thoughts and amazing lines in that movie. It makes me really want to see it again.

It also made me wonder, what is my ark? What is the thing I'm supposed to do to change the world? I think, in all of us, theres probably a desire to make a difference, to do something that changes the world for the better. To have an ark. It sure would be nice to have Morgan Freeman stop by and let me know.

Sorry it's been so long between posts. For the few of you who still continue to read my little blog, I hope you have not been too disappointed.

I have been doing many things since I was last here.

I finally finished the Spring Quarter at Bethel, turning in over 100 pages worth of work (which I have still not recieved back in graded form)...exciting. I love case studies. I did a weekend of Strengths Coaching in Roundup, MT, at the FBC there. It was incredible. Now I definitely know that I would like to do that for a living someday....*she sighs and looks off into the middle distance*...someday...I'm getting ready to do a weekend of Strengths Coaching in Chicago and in North Carolina in July. This is how I spend my free time. I am crazy, I know.

We had our closing BBQ (which turned out not to be an actual BBQ because it was raining...so we just had sandwiches) at The Rock last week, and since then, I've just been trying to get everything done to get ready for VBS, Day Camp, and just a general summer of fundraising, paperwork, school, camps, and other things. Much, much fun.

I am moving out of my apartment because my lease is up, and temporarily in with my parents. We shall see what happens after that. I have to say, I'm looking forward to living with my Mom for a little while. She could use the help in the summers while my Dad is at the farm, and she doesn't care if I spend all my time at The Rock. We're leaving tomorrow afternoon to take my cats up to the farm to live with my Dad, and then hopefully I can either find a place to take them in August, or I can find someone who wants them. We shall see. For those of you who haven't met my cats yet, they are amazing little creatures, and I will miss them a lot, but my dad is excited to have them around to do some mousing. He is a loon, too, so he'll enjoy the pair of psychos I'm bringing him.

I have been reading this Parker Palmer book called A Hidden Wholeness for our MLD152 class, and it has been absolutely amazing. I will post on it this weekend after I finish it. I would definitely recommend it.

Other than that, I'm just working. In fact, I'm sitting at my desk at The Rock right now, and lamenting how quiet and dead it is. Thankfully, we'll have alot of the kids for Day Camp the last week of June. I'm very excited for that. We shall see. Anyway, much love to you all. Keep on keepin' on...
