wonderings and wanderings: Working Through Money
http://capturetheflaig.blogspot.com/2009/06/working-through-money.html
Run on sentences, play on words. Monday, June 29, 2009. Today I was in the office talking with Ruth Bloom and all the sudden she hands me a check. The check isn. 8217;t from her or the mission; someone sent that check to me. Now that check doesn. 8217;t have the largest amount of money I’ ve. Ever received (ahem, I did work in the school cafeteria), but it is probably the most significant check I’ ve. 8217;t have to ask for money to come here, but someone sent some anyway. So now what do I do? Don't get ...

Run on sentences, play on words. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Journal entry from nursing school. this was from my same-day-surgery experience. I want to take this journal entry to debrief about the breast augmentation surgery I saw. As a student, it was a good experience. The surgeon was nice and explained what he was doing and the difference between his sub-muscular implantation site versus sub-glandular which has more risks involved including higher rate of infection. But how different am I? Life is full of...

Run on sentences, play on words. Monday, September 21, 2009. The Crude and Insensitive Reflections of a Nursing Student. We'll put you on a ventilator. Your SA node gets off beat? We'll give you a pacemaker. Can't hold it in? We'll give you a Foley. Your kidneys refrain and retain? We'll put you on dialysis. You can't digest this? We'll give you total parenteral nutrition. This is not poetry. There is nothing poetic about this. There's no beauty in the words sphincter. Dialysis, total parenteral nutrition.

wonderings and wanderings: Prayer and Contentment
http://capturetheflaig.blogspot.com/2010/08/prayer-and-contentment.html
Run on sentences, play on words. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. I pray for the church uh. that you would help." it's a very unmotivated prayer. Then I realized that in order to pray I have to have an element of discontentment with things. I have to have a will that is similar to what I know God's will to be. Perhaps the reason I cannot pray comes from my present contentment. With the world in my own experience. May 11, 2011 at 5:15 AM. This comment has been removed by the author. May 15, 2011 at 9:19 AM.

wonderings and wanderings: Burrito Love
http://capturetheflaig.blogspot.com/2010/02/burrito-love.html
Run on sentences, play on words. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Well it's been a while since I posted something on here. I'd like to get back into it, but until then feast your eyes on this poem. I won a free dinner for 2 to chipotle! Not because it was any good but merely because I entered the contest). But this was fun. "Who will you take to chipotle? You may be asking yourself.well it depends on how nice you are to me! Yes, I see you burrito. From the outside you're not much to look at.

Run on sentences, play on words. Sunday, November 30, 2008. If my mind and heart could vomit every thought infecting it, it would look something like this. clean up on asile 2. bring the sawdust. What can it mean to be Christian and not to be part of the world? How do you be Christian in the world? What came first the world or Christianity, is one defined as the absence of the other? Are always particularly superficial. How do I know the difference. In Eden there was not this dualism of world vs church o...

Run on sentences, play on words. Friday, January 9, 2009. Thought necklace: a string of thoughts loosely bound together. I think that's why it's hard for people to believe that God loves them. There's a certain ease to life that comes with love. There's protection, safety, belonging, and trust. Yet we know that life is not easy. There are situations that make us feel unprotected, unsafe, alone, and untrusting. How do we live in the blessing of God's love and the suffering of the world? 1 Be a friend.

Run on sentences, play on words. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Preparing for AZ: my doubts. So, I don't want to go to Immanuel Mission without some preparation. For me, this is mostly in the form of prayer/reading the Bible. These are things I know I should do anyway, but I guess I take them more seriously when I'm going to a mission campus in the middle of the desert. Silly, I know, but save me the sermon and let's move on. Am I even ready for this? Then comes the fear: What will happen if I'm not ready? I'm g...
