The Month in Review

July has seen London overcome terror, the beginning of the changing of the guard in the U.S. Supreme Court, and America return to space. You could really look at the month as a case study in optimism for the globe. I know as Christians we are aware that God's sovereign Will is going to be implemented regardless. I am just content that right now finds us in a time of joint resolve to bring down the threat of global terrorism and to make our nations safer places. Just as there is a great capacity in man for evil, there is also a great capacity in man for good.

July has seen me change my lifestyle (if--admittedly--only temporarily) through exercise and a healthy diet, achieving a record stretch of being ice cream-free. The enforcement of self-discipline has felt as good as the new energy level from the exercise and good eats. Also I broke my previous record at work for most hours worked in a week, but somehow balanced it out, only missing one Bible study and choir practice. Two out of five church events ain't bad. But I'm still not happy about this. I still want to know if it's okay for Christians to miss church functions for work. And I still want to know how we balance the busy-ness of life's business.

July has also seen me enter a new dimension of technology and communication through blogging. Thanks to Ninetyandnine and its staff for allowing me this wonderful opportunity. And to the readers of Ninetyandnine, this experience has been so much fun because of the dialogue we have created together. Thank you for your participation. Let's keep it up for another great month of blogging in August as welcome a new blogger whom I know you'll enjoy.

Much love and duct tape,
Lee Ann
