I came across this definition in my microbiology book that I thought you might enjoy.
Sanitization: Treatment intended to lower microbial count on eating and drinking utensils to safe public health levels.
Just thought you might like to comtemplate this the next time you go through the food line and get a tray or fork or cup – remember, it’s not all gone. 🙂
Look at the munchkins I spent the weekend with! What a great break and a re-awakening of a broader vision. I have to admit that when I left the Inn on Friday I was reluctant to go because I didn’t want to miss the stuff that would go on this weekend – can you believe that? I had let my focus get so small as to forget there was much of a world outside of the bubble we live in here. I think I need to get out more.
Anyhow, I got to spend all weekend just hanging out with a family, I really miss that; God bless all families who take in college students. We got to eat home cooked food, clean house, play Old Maid, give piggy back rides (sometimes to three kids at a time) and sit in on family wisdom search. Oh, and we had ice cream, that fills the quota for this week J
Little kids fill a special need in my life, I can’t explain it but I know that they will be an essential part of my life and ministry. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has called me to work with and love little kiddos. I’ve been working on my social life here so much that I’ve lost perspective, besides, kids don’t have lots of complicated problems, they don’t ask hard questions, they have such great faith, and such a simple outlook on life; we can relate really well. Children are my calling and I am so happy!
Thank you Lord for reminding me why I am here at college, thank you for showing me simple trust. Thank you for taking me out of the adult’s life of care and giving me lessons in the trusting acceptance and faith of a child. Take my hand Lord and lead me.
I can truly say God is good! The walk to and from the park was great!!! It was the first exercise I have had in three days! Without that, you might have been reading a different post.
Pictured on the left is my bestest brother, Brian. I wanted to post an excerpt of his email that was sent in response to my informing him of my recent injury:
Well, well, well! – This is simply outrageous! For 16 years I’ve protected you as best I could from injury and here he goes breaking your rib when I’m not there to intimidate
him! Who does he think he is, beating on my sister?
Isn’t he great?! You can see that he is already well prepared to take on any potential threat. 🙂
Thank you to all my brothers – and sisters – in Christ who protected me from myself, by not letting me play soccer today. One game missed isn’t too bad, even if Stacie is rubbing it in by saying how tired she is 🙂 Oh well, God’s been at work so I can’t complain! Blessings upon all of you!
Tylenol is my friend. 🙂
I have another friend , one in Texas – I got to talk with her tonight!
I have another friend, in heaven – I’m going to talk to Him now.
Well here goes another night, only this time it’s not the heat that’s going to make things difficult, I can’t lay flat on my back.
Today my education has been on learning my limits. I may have suspected a cracked rib before, but now I’m pretty sure. I felt so good on Sunday I thought maybe it wasn’t so bad, so this morning I tried to go back to my normal activities, hence I can’t lay down.
I found out that I can’t do push-ups, or run, or play soccer, or even go for a walk (I tried but something didn’t feel so good) During service hour I found out that even wiping down a cabinet with your left hand uses the muscles that are attatched to your ribs on the right side of your body. I can however peel carrots.
Sometimes God puts limitations on our life; Moses was slow of speech, Hannah couldn’t have children, Sarah was old, Lazarus was dead. In each case God put the limitation on them and then used it for His glory as He showed Himself strong in their weakness. God has seen fit to majorly alter my normal lifestyle, my new limitation has forced physical weakness upon me, but now God can come forth in a mighty way.
