An Inconvenient Truth

Courtesy of the wonderful Miss Jenny, I recently saw An Inconvenient Truth, a film about global warming hosted by none other than former vice-president Al Gore. Despite (or perhaps, because of) what you may think of him, I would definitely recommend that you see this. It presented some pretty disarming facts that shouldn't be ignored. Of course, take the film with a grain of salt, do your own research, and come up with your own conclusions about global warming. I almost hate that the issue is so wrapped up in politics. I wish we could forget what "side" we're on and just care about a problem that could be destroying our earth as we know it.

And on that note, I leave you with a cartoon:

Name suggestions anyone?

I know I may be alienating my male readers...sorry.

I am impatient.

I don't like thinking that I'm going to have to wait 6 more months to meet my baby. Being pregnant brings a whole new meaning to phrases like:

a pregnant pause...

pregnant with anticipation...

the pregnant silence...

It's a strange and novel feeling to be literally filled and expanding with new life. The Lord certainly has a way of depositing himself--everywhere and in everything. Just as I felt privileged to be a bride reflecting an image of the Lord's church, I feel privileged to be able to reflect an image of the Lord's expansive life. It's not always fun or comfortable, but it is probably one of the most amazing things that will ever happen to me.

So that brings me back to being impatient. Who's growing in there?!

This reminds me, we're having a hard time coming up with names. Any suggestions? (We like kind of quirky names)
