In case anyone from the broader blogsphere is reading this, I suppose I should tell you something about myself... To do so, I'm going to use a device my friend Cynthia sent me - the "meme". According to Wikipedia, this is a term "used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads in a fast way from person to person via the internet." As a recipient of this, I am supposed to post 7 facts about myself. Here goes...
1. I am a Christian, but don't like being pidgeon-holed because of that affiliation. I define my faith as trying to love God, love others, and follow Jesus.
2. God has placed in me a heart for social justice, which aches at the oppression and inequalities I see everywhere.
3. Politics is my passion, my calling in life - I love learning about and debating issues of the day, and hope to make pursuing solutions my life's work.
4. I deeply value community - the acceptance and support and care I have been blessed to experience in different settings.
5. I can't imagine living anywhere except a city - I love the fast pace, the closeness of people and places - it energizes me and makes me feel part of something bigger than myself.
6. I'm becoming vegetarian. It's something I've thought about for a while, but what tipped the scale for me was learning that increased meat consumption is one of the factors driving the global food crisis.
7. I love kids :) I'll be excited to have my own some day, but for now am happy giving parents a break by helping care for theirs.
