So, Chris' college friend who is from Africa came over for lunch the other day and we offered him tea. He asked, "tea or chai?" mostly because tea and chai I think are the same in some cultures/languages. So I thought, hey, we can make chai from this English Breakfast tea - add a little cloves (which we have from Indonesia!), cinammon, ginger, sugar, milk, etc. It totally worked and it was delicious. This is, if you were wondering, my new favorite thing. *smile*
Today I am enjoying it as I sit in my house fearing the gruesome outdoors (it's fierce wind and rain out there). Yes, and I am thinking about a lot of the same things I've been blogging about recently - injustice, racism, poverty, etc. I wonder, 'What am I supposed to do about this?' I've been craving talking with some people about this IN PERSON. Things are so much better in real life. Truly. I don't mind this blog and facebook and email and the like, but social interaction is so much better when you are actually face to face or side by side doing something daring or fun. Well, anyway, yes, so I am going to go to this "Come Together" conference that is going to address many of these issues from leaders in the church. I am thrilled to go and do this. I just hope it leads to hope, you know what I mean?
