| | Greetings to all three of you who still check this blog. It has been easy for me to not blog as my wife has had a huge, weekly (or bi-weekly if she feels kooky) update about her progress as a mother and her general thoughts. While I am trying to write this blog, there is a couple in this bookstore having it out about gas prices, off-shore drilling, CNG, arrogance, Hitler, Republicans...holy cow. As it continues to wind down, and gets quiet, he mutters..."Hitler..." and then they get into it. All over again. They just got shushed by the management. That was comedy all stirred by anger. Why is it that some of those subjects bring out the worst in people? These two don't know each other. They were brandishing names at one another that I would only call someone...no, actually, I wouldn't call anyone what they yelled at one another.
So - in the world of Andrew, I just got back from Mexico with Amor ministries. Go here to look into this rad group and what they are doing across the south. There were a whopping 5 of us that went to build this house/addition. I was thinking that we would get there and be paired with another group. I mean, five people can't build a house by themselves, right? I was both right and wrong. No, 5 can't...but with their intern, making it 6, and a willing family who wanted to help all the time (making it 7-8 at times), it is very doable. 6 people - 4 days - built an 11x22 house. It was so exciting. This family was crammed into their space and now will be able to breathe, have a little elbow room, and be able to have their espace (In the Land of Women...anyone? Anyone?).
Also, being down there made me appreciate the house we now have. I haven't put any pics up, but Meagan has, so check her blog to see our beautiful townhome. I love being in it and all of the potential it has. We just found out that our roomie Pat is taking off for a new place, so that means we will have a little more espace too. We are going to be moving a lot of things around, all centering around the use of that room.
This is a long blog that really didn't say much. I didn't cover the Dark Knight (loved it), monsoon season (loving it), disc golf (getting better, watch out), Sex God (will blow your mind if you think our culture has anything positive to say about marriage), the enjoyable Friday Night Art Walk we did last night (great artists, who also happen to be friends...too bad we can't afford their art) and all of the wonderful things that come from being back in Flag. Peace to my homies.
