simplicity.

here's a short, 20 minute movie called the story of stuff. it's pretty interesting to think more about where all our stuff has come from and where it's going. go to www.storyofstuff.com, watch the movie, and if you do, please let me know what you think! (it may take a little while to load)

also, i have decided that it is my goal by the end of this month to start our own indoor compost bin. i'm so excited! i'll be sure to keep posting about the progress of that... the next thing on the agenda is to order a couple hundred worms... :-)

i am enjoying being stretched and continuing to learn about simplicity and how to be a good steward of the earth and to care for my neighbors. if i want to follow Jesus in all areas of life, i think it would be good to keep scaling down my possessions and being more thoughtful about material things (although i know i will stop far short of becoming a wandering teacher with a pair of sandals and a tunic...)
