Politics

Well-I wanted to avoid commenting on politics, because people have very strong opinions regarding their parties, candidates, and views of the world. However, it's forefront on my mind. For me, it seems like a dark time is coming up for America, and I think it will be painful for those of my ilk. Mr. Obama seems to have won over the masses, though I can't think of anything besides rhetoric which points to the fact that he will be able to make good changes for our country. Along with a democratic congress, we are in for things heading pretty left. Cut and paste the address below into your browser for a sense of what it might be like...

The hope we have to have, regardless of party in charge is in the Lord. Our government or a man will never have all the answers. The Truth will be more important than ever as our society becomes more tolerant of everything but Absolute Truth. I'm thankful for friends and family who share in this knowledge... keep the faith!!

CALL + RESPONSE

HI everyone- I want to let you know about an amazing new documentary coming out this week that exposes human slave trafficking. There will be showings in both Denver and Chicago, (where most of our readers are)... so I thought I'd put the link up for you to check out. We are going to go this Friday night with a group from my church. I am setting it up and an outreach ministry of the Injustice Team I am on, and am really excited to see it. After a very moving sermon series a few months ago, I have wanted to help fight injustices. It seems like an uphill battle at times, but a lot of what we can do on a daily basis is promote awareness of what's going on in the world. Injustice refers to an abuse of power by one group over another. It can result in human slavery, sex trafficking, illegal seizure of land or property and a host of other really disturbing things. As a Christian, I think I am called to take a stand against injustice, as Jesus did. To see where this movie is playing near you, see http://callandresponse.com/tickets.html At least read up on the documentary if you get a chance, at callandresponse.com Heidi

Nothing New

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you all know that we're just trucking along. Josh is busy with recruiting season (again). He's looking for jobs in one of the slimmest economies in a long time. However, we both trust that God knows His plan for us and we will be taken care of by Him. Josh also is busy with the Christian Business Student Association (CBSA), of which he is a co-chair at school. I am proud that he is willing to take a stand for Christ in an environment where that isn't always popular.
I have just been hanging out with friends, going to knitting and guitar classes, and generally keeping myself busy. I love that it's football season (my favorite sport), and I am following both the Broncos and Bears. We decided to go to North Dakota for Thanksgiving to see my grandparents. My family is going to meet us up there too. It should be fun... That's about it for now. Hope everyone is doing well.
