This is the question I keep asking myself with every page I turn while reading "Not For Sale." I walked out into the living room tonight and said to Duncan, "How is God okay with this?!" to which my wise husband said, "He's not." Then I replied, "Why won't Jesus come back? Aren't things bad enough now?" to which Duncan, again so wisely, responded, "that statement could be said for any day in history." Touché, husband, touché. I guess this seminary education makes you more rational about these things... or something.
I'm only halfway through the first chapter in "Not For Sale," though NFS did do an amazing presentation at North Avenue not too long ago. The book is just making the plight of modern-day slaves more real... real people, with real names, and real emotions, and incredibly devastating stories. So, while I'm too far into the book yet, I recommend it. Get it on Amazon here. Check out the Not For Sale website here.
I'm also recommending you check out NightLight Jewelry (here), an organization built around bringing hope through employment and outreach to sexually exploited women in Thailand... see the pretty goods below! And thanks to Mom for gifting some pretty earrings to the Meadows women this Christmas from NightLight!
On a lighter note, Duncan and I don't have cable, so our TV viewing options are limited. We do get some NBC Sports channel. The event we've been watching, perhaps too much of, is the ski jump. It's amazing! Picture tiny men speeding down a huge hill at 60 miles per hour and then jumping 400 feet!! Oh my, they actually land on their feet. We can't pull ourselves away! It has brought much joy to the Meadows home this week.
And lastly, I realize that I haven't stuck to my commitment to ending each post with a photo of Moki, so just refer to this older photo:
This is close to the Moki pose we have deemed "Reverse Meatloaf." Meatloaf is when a cat is laying on it's stomach with all its legs tucked under the body... so it looks like a meatloaf. Yes, you get it. Reverse meatloaf is when cat is laying on back with arms tucked into belly (note, above photo Moki is not in correct posture as legs are not tucked in). Pretty much every time I have looked over at Moki this past week, she's been in reverse meatloaf. It's always funny. Every time. More photos to come soon!
