I love my little boy.  He is so cute scootin' around the floor as he is officially a crawler now.   He also has entered into the "I must be with mom at all times" stage and this is a bit hard to handle.  Any time I enter or exit a room he bursts into a loud sob.  This boy has got a will.

So, a few weeks ago I learned for the first time about the children being abducted in Northern Uganda and forced to fight in a rebel army.  It's only been happening for, like, 20 years and I just now found out about it.  Well, now that I have found out, my heart feels like a wild animal full of passion to see justice brought to this horrible situation.  If you want to learn more about the beautiful children in Uganda go to www.invisiblechildren.com or www.ugandacan.org or www.worldvision.org  

By the way, World Vision is an incredible organization.  I am learing more about it and it is causing my heart to soar... they are a beautiful voice for the voiceless.

Okay, okay... since I am meeting more and more people who have a Xanga I decided that it would be good for me to update more regularly. 

  Well, I had my baby!     and that happened almost 6 months ago...                                                         His name is Asher Lake and he is beautiful!  His life is such a light for me.  He has brought me much joy.   To occupy my time with something other than reading Xanga sites,  I have started to learn Arabic.  I love languages so much... they make me come alive inside.  I love the thought of bridging gaps between people caused by something as simple as a language barrier.  I want to deeply know more people than just the English speaking ones!    If our country ever gets invaded and taken over by radical Islamic terrorists then I want to be able to communicate with them... let 'em know some of my thoughts... :)

I have a bad sunburn.  It hurts to put my shoulders back... so my body which naturally falls into poor posture is encouraged even moreso now... boo! 

I'm done reading "Blue Like Jazz".  I really enjoyed this book.   Donald Miller's honesty has been refreshing.  I found myself laughling out loud at different points and constantly thinking to myself, "yeah, I know what you mean." 

I'm so disillusioned with Christianity.  I haven't found Jesus there.  I do want to know this man, Jesus.  I do want to drink from Him and never thirst again.  Oh Jesus... if you are real come be real to me!
