We had an alternative thanksgiving celebration last weekend. We had a bunch of people over and served rice and beans and prayed together. We also collected about $100 for Canada Food for the Hungry. It was really nice to be able to focus on our gratitude for our every day lives. We are so blessed everyday. Praise God for your abundance. May we give what we can to others.
I taught a pro-life apologetics class yesterday for the Salvation Army war college students. I've never done that sort of thing before but I enjoyed it so much. I've been longing to share the urgency of this work with people for a long time but usually Christians are uninterested in hearing me. I think that reason that I blog is because I'm passionate about justice and I desire to share that passion with other people but I don't usually have forum for that. Sometimes when I'm talking to people that seem somewhat responsive I get really excited and talk at them about my topic until they're overwhelmed. I try to keep that to a minimum but it's hard. Anyways, I think that the students were interested which made me pretty happy. I feel "called" (whatever that means) to teach but I have no idea where to do it besides on my blog. I hope that I can have other opportunities like this class to teach people about some of the things that I'm passionate about.
