Thanks for your good thoughts on radica...Amen Lisa! Thanks for your good thoughts on radical, I was wondering if it was as good as all the hype. And I especially appreciate your "don't edit, it's okay if it's not perfect"! because sometimes that IS perfect. getting your thoughts down and not trying to squeeze them into essay form or syllogisms. You let took captive your thoughts for Christ and... voila, they make sense! so much sense! thanks for writing them for us :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617484845144133903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095227282638922431.post-91348317973996624962012-07-12T16:02:13.770-07:002012-07-12T16:02:13.770-07:00Thanks for the reminder about Platt's book, Li...Thanks for the reminder about Platt's book, Lisa it's so easy to read it, which i did last fall, be thoroughly convicted make a few changes, then let it all fade into the background while the immediacy of the moment takes over. but it's there, in the back of my mind and reminders like your post bring me back to an awareness of the needs outside my own walls.<br /><br />I can relate to your comment too Elizabeth,I've become a nutrition freak, not all without cause as my children's needs have warranted some of it but it is easy to get sucked into spending lots on temporary needs.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778196708179955459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095227282638922431.post-68394407791197941382012-07-12T14:06:37.763-07:002012-07-12T14:06:37.763-07:00Hey, you finished it already! And I had a feeling...Hey, you finished it already! And I had a feeling you would succumb to buying the Hunger Games...<br /><br />Oddly enough, one of the things this book made me reconsider was buying organic food. I've gone back and forth about organic for a while, finally started succumbing (with no reservations) and obviously spending WAY more money on food. I don't think buying organic food or paraben free products is wrong, but it made me think about our perspective on health in the US. My kids are 1000 times healthier on non-organic food than those kids who have little to no food and yet it becomes such an important hot-button issue here. I've actually stopped buying organic anything (apart from the farm share because it really is more frugal in the long run) thinking that the money we save on not buying that could be used to be given away. Of course, the giving would have to be intentionally for food for the hungry for it to actually make a difference so I'm still thinking about how to work that out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
