Gravity is basically a force that pulls TWO masses together. Earth is the closest, largest mass to us, so naturally it has the most significant gravitational force. BUT, what if the Earth didnt have as much mass (or force) as it does....

Things that I would love to see without gravity....

10. Shelves- of any sort- contents float on
9. Wall hangings- nails and screws are like so out
8. Autos- the wheels on the bus go... but we don't
7. Filing Cabinets- teachers would go berserk
6. Baskets- better get a top for that
5. Hangers- useless
4. Desks- computers, lamps; hey, at least it won't get cluttered!
3. Chairs- no more sore butt
2. Beds- the covers better be tight!
1. Bowls and plates- better get some good bleach

Share some good ones with me!!!

(P.S. That also means that any two objects (or people) have gravitational forces between them. The closer and the more massive, the greater the force. I wonder what the force is between me and Ben Folds ;)

Mommy WOW! I'm a big kid now!

Kinda... In case you haven't been updated, yes, I was picked to go to Taiwan. Awaiting medical clearance after stressful times for my secretary (me). Taiwan will be an awesome experience and I am truly thankful and blessed to have the opportunity. (Wondering about this pic? Taken for Fulbright; kinda cute, eh?) Pray for me tomorrow when I have a doctor examine my temple.

Once again, a fun-fulled weekend graced me with kayaking, a football game, my first visit to "the strip," and the Oxfam gallery show (of which both of my two pieces sold).

As this stanza of my narrative ends, I reminisce upon the friends, family and times experienced in Tallahassee. As inspiring as all of it was, it will be bittersweet to move to Taiwan for a year away from all of the comforts of home.

The garden. Kelly and I visited the "garden of eden." It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I find it hard to believe that it was the site of the garden.

I cant understand what the real garden mustve been like. Would everything be perfect? Or rather, viewed as perfect? Was this His plan all along? I wonder. Grace and forgiveness are so much more beautiful than perfection.

Exploring this place was such a joy. What a magnificent piece of work! Props. If you ever have an opportunity to visit, seize it!
