Rancho Santa Marta 2015

Image
Rancho Santa Marta Mission Trip I was away for eight solid days in Mexico, learning about the children at the school and the ranch itself. We traveled to Ensenada the first day and had lunch in town. After passing the culture shock, dirty and nasty area of Tijuana, I realized how much God and these people needed our help. I did manual labor for 6 days, electric chiseling, regular chiseling, picking up debri, sweeping, and hauling out excess cement for a junior high. We had bonfires at night and devotionals in the morning and evening. Our team of 47 wonderful people took 7 vans and a huge truck to haul our luggage. Renn and Matt, our team leaders, worked well together, and had so much innovative ideas and strong energy towards this cause. That team became my family that week and the team parents became my loving caring parents who watched over me, protected me, advised me, listened to me, and showed me why we were there. I met the school director who told us about her and her husband...

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover and the Root of Apathy

I have seriously seen enough news about Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner. We have so much other stuff going on in the world, that this I want to say "quit it." I don't know that person, but I do not have any right to judge. So many judgements rolling around right now, its ridiculous.

He handed me the wine list and I smiled and asked for the beer list. He apologized and told me he just figured that is what I would want. I didnt say a word. I like beer and wine, so that is fine. I prefer beer to be honest, and yes I watch sports on tv, so Im not a typical social media or the like, of a woman. Hallejuah! Same goes with anything in life especially dating. It irks me big time when people poke aro...

 Locker rooms are seriously dangerous. You laugh now, but seriously, the floors in there are slippery, and do not have mats anywhere. I almost fell yesterday, on my way back from the shower. I never realized how much are haste makes waist. I think it is the same for anywhere if we keep on rushing we are more likely to get hurt. I slipped on the tile floor of my parents house a long time ago, but still feel it in my tailbone from the fall.  I am naturally pretty boney, which means I am highly susceptible to bruising post falls. I am trying to curtail that by working out, getting stronger, and noticing my surroundings more. Call me grace seems to be pretty common for when I take nose dive and fall right down. It's actually pretty scary if you aren't paying close attention or you accidentally misinterpret where a step might be or etc.    I think people don't realize an injury from a fall can range from a sprain to a complete bone break, depending on how you fell, wh...
