Missions Trip

Well, I officially leave in one hour. Ah! I am so nervous. I have practically no clue what we are doing. I guess that is a cool thing, because it is a situation that asks for me to lean on God. He's always there no matter where I am-even in a mystery spot of Denver. :)

I have had a revelation! John Steinbeck-I've always known he is an excellent author. Last night, however, I came to the conclusion that he is THE favorite and I figured out why. He finds beauty in a hopeless world-life in death, love in hate, and joy in sadness. His books are always set in hopeless situations-the Depression for example. No matter how hard things are, he draws attention to the cool things: new life, nature, and love. So, that is my great discovery. :)
