wally world "helping" china after the earthquake

http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=15039

so apparently walmart donated money to help the people of china after the earthquake.
the problem is, they donated the amount of money they make in 20 minutes.
But from that 20 minutes they got weeks of PR coverage by patting themselves on the back. Of course... they forgot to mention all the Chinese people forced to work in Walmart sweatshops so we can "save money and live better."

just something to think about.

i think i need to be more aware about what my money is supporting when i buy things.

wisdom from mr. chambers

"So often we impair God's designed influence, which He desires to exhibit through us, because of our own conscious efforts to be consistent and useful. Jesus said there is only one way to develop and grow spiritually, and that is through focusing and concentrating on God." -Oswald



...why is this so hard to actually put into practice everyday? sometimes i think we (I) overcomplicate things that are meant to be simple.

adventures of moving to nashvegas

felt very grown up this week because:

1. I rented/drove a uhaul truck by myself in a new city (and didn't wreck) and moved a couch and a loveseat from one house to another...all without the help of my dad!
(granted, we did have to get the help of the cable repairman who happened to be next door, but that is totally different). :)

2. Casey and I drilled several big holes into the wall to correctly hang some rather difficult roman shades. Nobody lost any limbs and the blinds were level! Who says girls can't use power tools?
