  • So here are some photos from Sarah and Mo...

    This is the whole group at the church before the long 23 hour drive, and let me tell you, weird things happen after 23 hours in a van...



    Joseph and Joel, our trusty leaders (and yeah, it was raining that night)



    Before our first day of work, in our nice, new, clean care team shirts :)



    The girls, at lunch...

  • What do you call it?

    I'm writing a press release about our trip to New Orleans. Once I get pictures, I'll post a couple. Although, you can already see some here: www.flickr.com/photos/ladylexi86. At any rate, back to the press release....we cleaned up these really big median strips (a huge green area with trees and everything that divides traffic)...but I need a word for them. So, here's what I found on dictionary.com

    American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source

    neutral ground  
    n.   Louisiana & Southern Mississippi
    1. See median strip.
    2. See parking.
    The strip of grass dividing the opposing lanes of an avenue or a highway is known by a variety of terms in the United States. The most common term, used almost everywhere except westward from the Rocky Mountains, is median strip or median. In upstate New York it is also called a mall, and in Pennsylvania, a medial strip. In the Midwest the strip is also known as a meridian or a boulevard. In Louisiana and southern Mississippi the term used is neutral ground—"as if the highway were a battle zone," observes Craig M. Carver in American Regional Dialects.

    So, what I want to know is...do any of you Pennsylvanians actually call it a medial strip????

  • It's been a tough day. But I was listening to some of the New Attitude sermons, and I was encouraged by this quote.

    “What we need is humble theology—theology which submits itself to the truth of God's Word. “Liberal” theology—theology which does not view Scripture as finally trustworthy and authoritative—is not humble before the Word. Churches which are tentative and decry dogmatism may sound humble, but it is not truly humble to do anything other than to submit to God's Word. Christian humility is to simply accept whatever God has revealed in His Word. Humility is following God's Word wherever it goes, as far as it goes, neither going beyond it nor stopping short of it. The humility we want in our churches is to read the Bible and believe it—everything God has said, dogmatically, and humbly! It is not humble to be hesitant where God has been clear and plain.”
    - Mark Dever
