Redeeming Qualities

I found this in my intercultural communication text book --> I laughed.

Apparently the animals are legit...who knew?

P.S In case you wanted to read the chart, the horizontal line is concern for others' self-interest left is low, right is high. The vertical axis is concern for self interest, bottom is low, top is high
P.P.S. The shark description sounds awful...haha!

Hope

Hey peeps,

I would like to share something with you...

My grandfather, Richard Kemp, has been slowly slipping away from this world over the past few months. We have known that time is short and our Father is bringing him closer to the Kingdom with each passing day. This past Tuesday, however, my grandfather took significant steps toward eternity. Though he has not left this world yet, the time is coming soon.

Because of this, I am headed up to Seattle tomorrow morning to visit him one last time. I will be staying with various relatives this next week and spending some very heartfelt time with them. It will also be the last time I see my grandfather in his earthly body.

I am truly thankful for this opportunity. I know the Lord is going to do tremendous work in my heart...mainly because this is my first encounter with death. I am blessed to say that I have not yet lost a friend or loved one to death. This next season of life (for me and my entire family) will be one of significant changes. There's something about death the draws us closer to Hope.

If you will, please pray that God would work in my heart and show me the true meaning of hope, family, love, and the promise of salvation.

Each one of you are and will continue to be dear to my heart.

Communication...

A lesson in non-verbal communication:
Everyone in this picture is communicating something...

Tyler's interpretation: The Other Five Love Languages
Amanda's interpretation: How we all feel about to pine cones
Anthony: Wonder
Tyler: Violence
Amanda: "really??"

I really just wanted to update the blog...

(Katie I really do love your pine cone!!)

if anyone was still wondering about the cabin...

from gvlcabinescape.com - notice the "not available for singles under 25"...thought that was funny. so if you're 20 and you're married, it would be ok? we could pretend like we're 5 couples. or maybe since we've been there before they'd trust us =) i guess we could play that card as opposed to the lying idea...

anyway...thought i'd just throw that info out there...

speaking of dreams

i literally dreamed about the meal we had last night.  it was so good! from the margaritas, to the crock-pot goodness, to the fruit pizza, i woke up thinking about it. 

how embarassing...what can i say...after the new experience of cooking for myself every day, amazing meals like that definitely don't occur very often.

mmmmmmmm.
