Daily 5 - Day 315

Today's Daily 5:

1. popcorn with lots of butter
2. house church - and watching (again for me, the first time for others) Rob Bell's "The God's Aren't Angry"
3. it was just a "good" day, without some of the internal confusion that the last few days have held
4. got lots of studying done, on track for where I want to be by the end of the week, and starting to really hit a groove for being productive.
5. laughing with friends tonight over my "should have kept my mouth shut" moment from earlier in the week, and their shared stories of similar woes.

Sad to Read This

Some of you know that Peru is a nation that God has placed on my heart for a whole lot of reasons, and I tend to follow any international news headlines that come up from Peru fairly closely.

There was an article that I came across in the BBC news today that made me sad on several levels.  On the level of someone who cares about the rights of indigenous people, and on the level of someone who prays for the country of Peru, and on the level of someone who cares in increasing amounts about environmental destruction and sees the refusal of the Peruvian president to sign this bill into law as an open door for destruction of the Peruvian amazon, clothed in the guise of "development."

Peru Leader Rejects Indigenous Land Rights Law

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

I quite enjoyed this particular speech.  Well worth the fifteen minutes to watch or listen.
