Time for a Break!

Sunday, March 16, 2008, 4:23 p.m.

Spring break is finally here! Years past, spring break has been later in the semester, so it’s a nice change this year to have it kind of early.
 

The past few weeks have consisted of birthday parties, work, reading, and writing- lots and lots of writing. I am almost completely finished with my 25 page senior thesis and it feels so good!

Writing this paper has challenged me and how I live my life. It has made me reevaluate my daily actions and what I value: how to treat strangers, friends, peers, family members, the oppressed, marginalized and socially outcast.

How would God treat these people, love these people?

Whether a person believes in God or not, I believe God lives within each living person. How should I treat God?
 

“[Find] God in people. You can’t ignore people when God is looking out their eyes at you.”
-Homan & Pratt, Radical Hospitality

Tomorrow morning I am heading up to San Francisco and Berkeley with my roommate for a few days. I have been to San Francisco once when I was 11 years old, so I am so excited to go and hang out there! Plus tomorrow is St. Patrick’s day so I bet there will be a bunch of fun things to do and see there.

Whether it’s this week or in weeks to come, I hope you have a great spring break!!
