Meanwhile, here are some figments of my life and thoughts at the moment...
Edinburgh, Scotland - location of a friend's semester study abroad. A couple friends are over seas right now and they continue to have my prayers and thoughts throughout the next few months.
My roomate Christal and I. Total opposite from personality to hair-do. What a joy!
Hurricane Katrina was a significant demonstration...of God; Of the reality of how NOT in control of things we are; The need for active compassion for thousands of displaced families right now. CBU has actually begun to respond to the need in the south through blood drives as well as housing several of the temporary students from New Orleans that will be going to CBU for the semester as well. Please pray that this would be an opportunity for love to abound more and more
John 13:35 - Any by this they will know that you are my disciples by the love that you have for one another. | | |
| Apology: the whole thing about mars and two moons was false. Mars passed as close to earth as it will in a long time, and if it ever did pass close enough to the earth to look like a second moon, it would drastically affect the tides, etc. Sorry to have posted false info. | | |
| This past week the African deserts have blown on over the atlantic ocean in a dust cloud. It has settled in central Florida and thus made the sunsets and sunrises more crimson. Seriously, major golden hot rod brilliance is going on.
So last night, with toes dangling in a bass-infested Floridian river and sprinkled with a couple ducks and alligators here and there, my cousin Angie and i giggled under an African dust-storm sunset.
Yes folks, Africa was in the sky last night. | | |
| Two Moons in the August Sky...
Starting in August, Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.
At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. By the end of August when Earth and Mars are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.
On August 27th. It will look like the Earth has two moons!
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

| I have recently received the sound track to GARDEN STATE the movie. Excellent movie for those who can sit still, read into the subtlties and realize that the main actor is also the director and writer of the movie. THAT is cool. AND it shows that the whole thing was basically an expression of this one guy through and through. This might sound a ltitle too artistically "off the deep end" but bear with me...
When you watch a movie that isn't too canned or processed or run through ALL of the production companies and filtered and butchered so it SOUNDS and LOOKS like its YET ANOTHER hollywood make over, it is refreshing. For this reason, i would love to start watching some of the B rated movies and the stuff from the film festivals to see the new artists strut their stuff.
Where are the present-day Alfred Hithcocks who can play with brand new angles and thougths and twist the audience into pretzals? How about art and imagination and thoughtful examination of people instead of sexuality to turn heads and draw the crowds? How about intelligent scripts that dig deep into the thoughts and motives of people's actions instead of Star Wars III episode-like movies that have "I am canned and was written too late at night that i had to open up a romance novel on the 'used and unwanted' thrift store shelves" written all over it. (apologies to the star wars fans. I enjoy Star Wars but Episode III could have been much better though). (Disagree? i dare you!:D
To the film makers and artists out there, PLAY and IMAGINE diffferent ways to portray THOUGHTS and HONESTY and STRUGGLES. Start asking questions about WHY people say the things they do and who observes what? I challenge you to take an afternoon outta your day-long obsessions with compuer and watch the Wal-Mart customers. Watch the moms frustrated and gritting their teeth with a plastered "im happy only in walmart" smile while they deal with their kids. Watch the cashiers who are really tired and those who are really sad. (you might not realize this, but the cashiers (not all of course, but some) do notice you (the customer) and watch you. Smile at the lady who has to pick up after all of the clothes in the fitting room or the maybe thank the guy who has to clean up after the squished tomato in the food section with a friendly, 'ah man. could i squirt a few more tomatos and then play slip and slide right here in the produce section? Wanna play too??! AND THEN YOU COULD GET ALL THE KIDS WHO REALLY DON"T LIKE TO SHOP ANYWAYS AND ALL THE WALMART PRODUCE PEOPLE TO COME AND SLIP AND SLIDE ON PEEL BANANAS AND TOMATOS IN THE AISLES OF WALMART!
...That should be in a movie.
Enjoy today friends. Just....just enjoy it. Be a blessing. Take a deep breath and just try to ROCK SOMEONE"S WORLD TODAY!
