Pray for Matt

Matt left yesterday to spend a week at the Michigan State University to help document a week long evangelism event. It's a pretty cool event where the InterVarsity chapter there is partnering with York Moore and IJM to raise awareness about injustices around the world and God's views those injustices.

"Tuesday through Thursday, November 6-8. Hundreds of student volunteers will depict some of the degrading conditions experienced by those who are caught up in modern slavery. Each evening related programs will be held at several locations on campus, culminating in a presentation entitled The Price of Life, on Thursday evening, at the Kellogg Center’s Big Ten Room." (intervarsity.org) One of the cooler ideas is that there will be beds set up around campus with student volunteers "chained" to them as a representation of sex slavery. Pretty in your face.

Pray for Matt as he is there that he might not only be able to capture on film and video what is happening, but that he can have conversations with students that lead to Christ.

moments

It snowed for the first time this season today. It wasn't much...nor did it last long, but it was a good reminder to stop and enjoy the moment, the changing of the season, the newness. I know I'll be tired of snow in a few months...but I'm grateful that there is something captivating about the initial snow fall.

And yes, those apples are really that different in size :). We went apple picking for the first time a few weeks ago with some kids from work. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and I've never seen apples that big! Just in case anyone is wondering...the big apple is a Cortland apple. I've never heard of that type before...but it has one of the best flavors I've ever tried. I have no idea what the small one is.
