Thinking sooo many thoughts!
This afternoon I am sitting on my bed in Cuernavaca, a place that is slowly becoming my new home, and I am pondering how my faith will be changed and stretched this next year. I am catching up on the "On Being" podcasts I have waiting for me in my iTunes queue and dreaming about a piece of Finnish squeaky cheese.
