Coincidence of some sorts…

January 28th, 2009 | Category: Other

I am kinda laughing to myself about this…Tonight is the second night in a row that each of these following things has happened:

  1. I sat through an uneventful meeting all day
  2. I drove into Boston
  3. Had dinner with a friend from college
  4. Met my friends new spouse
  5. The friends I met were significantly involved in a non-profit organization
  6. The non-profit organization exists to help kids in Africa

Ok, so last night it was Ryan and Katie Keith…you met them.

And tonight it was Katie (yes another quincidence – both couples have a Katie!) and Andrew Bauer (no relation to Jack). Katie and Andy are part of Kupenda for the Children. You can check out their site at: http://kupenda.org. Katie & Andy are also very close to my heart and I’d love you to pray for them and for the organization. Like Forgotten Voices International, Kupenda raises lots of money each year and is doing great things with it.

So yea, kinda funny how that worked out. Unfortunately, there is no video tonight. I had wanted to, but we were too wrapped up in discussing how the only possible fun thing to do at Messiah College on weekends is to go to Walmart…so I completely forgot :)

    I think Ruth (my sister and a freshman at Messiah) goes to Target sometimes…. I think maybe it’s around 15 minutes away. Times have changed… ;-) I sometimes remind her that our family didn’t have a computer until I was 16 – Mom would type my H.S. term papers for me on the typewriter (usually the night before the final draft was due…)! Thanks Mom!! =D

    That was the only fun thing to do on weekends at my college in PA as well, lol…go on trips to Wal-marts that are open 24 hours a day!

    i once heard a quote(proverb?)that said, “if you want to know who you are, look at your friends”. seems like you got a great group around you…

    It must be something to do everywhere. In Michigan, at Ferris, that is all we did on the weekends is tool around Walmart. We were so excited our last semester at College when they built a Meijer!!

    Nicole,
    I love that you just said “tool around”.

    haha
