'Kicking It'
-
When I was beginning to think about going to seminary, I met with one of the heads of the Educational Ministries department at Covenant Seminary in St. Louis. He was awesome and told me to look up Social Entrepreneurship. At one of the websites, I found a bio of Mel Young, the founder of the Homeless World Cup. What an amazing idea. Now they made a documentary.
Reasons I love working for my church's middle school youth group:
They think performing lip sync routines publicly is the height of cool.
They run around in outfits like this at camp.
They choose to eat entire plates of canned corn at meals.
They eat firey-hot s'mores off of their own knees.
I decided to start only taking pictures of things that make me laugh. Everything else is just a space-waster on my hard drive.
Credit Cards
(brokencredit.com)
Now that I'm done with college, a lot more financial responsibility is necessary.
I have two credit cards, one American Airlines reward card and one cash back bonus something-or-other card. I used to just have the American Airlines card until I read an article called "The Lowdown on Rewards Cards" in Real Simple. It seems that with most airline rewards cards, one must charge more than $7,500 a year to make the whole thing worth it. I'm not sure how to figure out if I do that or not, but my free financial tracking website Mint.com is pretty helpful, but I've only had them tracking my purchases since November.
This whole credit card thing is pretty uninteresting to me overall, but do I feel the need to have a good 'credit score' - whatever that is. I feel like magazines like Real Simple are helpful and stuff, but sometimes they can get me too paranoid about saving money in every area of my life.
Whatever, I'll think about this later.

two songs from destin
david, my boss at my youth group, is always way ahead of the students in his music knowledge. he played these two songs a lot on the destin trip:
The National - "Fake Empire"
Cloud Cult - "When Water Comes To Life"
sorry about the fan vids, just listen to the songs.
