Wed-Nes-Day: Very Important, kind of.

Greetings, friends! Okay, the first thing I have to mention is that I have now met four other interns. Kara, Brittany, Katie, and Simeon! I'm pretty stoked that there are more interns here other than me! Maybe it's not that exciting? I don't know.

 Well, today we had yet another seminar, even though this was just our second one. Today we heard three stories of people who were homeless. Every individual story was powerful in a different way. It makes me feel fortunate for what I have and how blessed we are back in Chillicothe. Then, this lady talked to us about HIV/AIDS. I found it interesting how easy it is to prevent the spread. Next, we talked about Bread for the World. Honestly, I almost fell asleep, but the girls were very passionate about the cause and had many good points. At lunch time, we ate out on the steps to the Supreme Court building. 

I hope I wasn't judged for eating on the steps!!!!! 

John, Josh and I played frisbee on a patch of grass, which was very entertaining before our last speaker. The last guy talked to us about men being allies to women. We talked about rape and how men can prevent rape, and how certain things affect women, whether or not it hurt women (not particularly rape... other things too). This presentation was by far my favorite so far, and the most interesting. 

We traveled to Union Station and ate at a place called Thunder Grill. Not bad, had a Native American feel to it. Oh! which reminds me- I guess the restaurant we ate at earlier this week was called "PotBelly's" according to Alison. Well, I'm off to devotion. 

Keep it cool!

  1. I judge you for eating on the steps of our highest courts, but my judgments have little authority, so whatever...

    Did you see any justicisisiss(sp?)?
