A Few Things

1. Rachel and John are blogging slackers
2. Betsy (me) is modelling vegetarianism due to lots of traumatic reading for summer research. Let's just say that burger you had for dinner is a mildly disguised plate of disgusting.
3. I just read this amaaazing book, Under the Overpass by Mike Yankovich. I started it last night, got most of the way through it in a little over an hour, then finished it this morning instead of convincing myself further to not eat meat. Two college guys take off school for a semester to be homeless, with the goal of learning about life on the streets, growing deeper in their faith, and learning about themselves. Good read, awesome message. It was especially good in light of my bro's suggestion that we have a homeless week this summer. Which, Bryce, is a little intense, but doesn't seem so much that way after reading this book.
4. If you have a couple free hours and a little love to give, go to a nursing home sometime. If you're lucky and the people are really cool, they'll give you lots of bead necklaces, like Frank and Julia did. Or they'll play bluegrass with you, like John and Frank did. Or they'll tell you that you're special and beautiful and you have a good heart, like Pepe did. In any case, it's worth the drive. Take a friend along.
