Thursday night we had a movie night at the corps to watch "Firewall". Ashley and I were the only girls who showed up, but it was good times. The boys cooked for us and cleaned the kitchen, too. Ha HA!

Friday night a bunch of us watched Born Into Brothels at the teen center. That thing still makes me cry. Makes you wonder how life would be different, simply by being raised in a different country, or a different social class. The film was shot in 2001. The kids in the movie are the same age as the teens here at the Powerhouse. Real lives. Scary. But then I think about the difference Zana Auntie made in the lives of those ten kids, by being dedicated to loving them, and having faith to see them live for something better than what was passed on to them by their parents. That's what Jesus is all about. Spending all your time and energy on someone else- not simply to give them more 'stuff', but to give them the tools to dream God-sized dreams and live them out.

Now I'm off to cut Joel's hair. Or pass out flyers for VBS.

Happy Birthday Owen, you're 6. HOORAY! Happy Birthday Grandad, you're ancient, and I love you! Happy Birthday, Canada! You're my home, forever! Except when I get to heaven.
