And now, nothing but fun

I have had some incredible learning opportunities this semester.  I'm kind of amazed by all the experiences and I'm incredibly excited by all the things that are coming.  But, just in case you were all worried that I was too serious, I thought I'd post about all the mindless fun I've been having as well.  There are  a lot of pictures in this post.  Just a warning!

My Day at the UN, or how I didn't solve the world's problems but still learned a lot.

I was a politics major in undergraduate and I was saying this morning, I'm fairly certain that I still emit a slight aura of political wonk.  I love politics and see myself always being very involved in that world.  Religion and politics are obviously very closely tied, even when they shouldn't be, so it's still very much a part of my call to stay active and aware.  One of the things I love about being on the east coast is my proximity to all the things that any politics nerd would love.  While I haven't made it to D.C. yet, I did have the opportunity to check one thing off my list today:  I spent the day at the United Nations.

Father Richard Rohr

I am so neglectful. I have stories, pictures, updates, all of that waiting. But for now... I wanted to share this sermon from Father Richard Rohr. He was the keynote speaker for the Tipple-Vosburgh lectures that took place at Drew a few weeks ago. He is amazing, funny, and so very profound. So please do yourself a favor and take 18 minutes to watch it. He speaks about the future of Christianity, the roots of Christianity, and some truly incredible truths about who God is.

Richard Rohr is a Franciscan Friar, an inspirational speaker, and generally amazing.  He writes for Sojourners sometimes, and we were very blessed to have the opportunity to hear him speak.

More soonish.  I promise!  Just know that I am joyfully busy, doing well in my classes, and excited about picking the courses I'll be taking next semester.
