Winds of worship

Fast food wrap
03.26.05 (12:25 pm) [edit]Here's a homeage to my fast food entry from a few weeks before. I did a little reserch for you all and here are some interesting food links. Check them out:
This site helps you figure out the nutritional information in your Chipotle burrito! Just go to nutrition calculator and build your typical burrito.
This is a great place to break down McDonald's food.
Taco Bell has a nutritional calculator as well. The demand for this type of thing must be pretty high!

The ever-popular Burger King publishes all of its nutritional secrets above!
Here is Culvers for you midwest fans. I just ate their last night. Click on menu, then nutrition.
There are lots more sites offering nutritional facts. Look for them on google!
I know what I want
03.21.05 (4:34 pm) [edit]When I look deep in my heart I've found the answer. I want . . .
- To travel
- To create (whether that is to write, paint, etc. )
- To open my home to others. I want to feed them, love them, give people a safe place to belong
- To minister to other women (younger, most likely)
- To support and love a man I respect with all my heart
These goals are not career-focused. So why am I getting a bachelor's in journalism?

Is it ok to be sad?
03.19.05 (9:26 pm) [edit]I know its ok to be mad, hurt, happy or the other various emotions we experience, but is it ok to be sad and be a Christian?
I think it is, but I feel guilty being sad sometimes. Like, for example, my life isn't bad, so why be sad? What justifies being sad? I don't know the answers to this, but I am seeing more and more that it is the people who I surround myself with that determine my emotions. Or the things I am surrounded by, not just people.
And another thing. I think we should all come with warning labels. Something on our back that says "Easily irritated" or "Insecure, please be gentle" or even "Has a chip on shoulder." Maybe this would make life easier for everyone. And then when someone outgrows that particular thing, they could have a new sign for the next stage in their life. I just think there is a certain joy to getting to know someone really well, but there can also be a level of pain, confusion or frustration at finding out someone is not what you thought they were . . . and that can be unbelievably troubling.
Belated Happy day
03.19.05 (8:20 am) [edit]Today is the day I finally get to celebrate my birthday! Yay!
Some friends are cooking me dinner, etc. tonight. Its really sweet of them. On my real birthday I had lots and lots of homework to do. It kind of stunk. But I got a lot of birthday cards from important people back home. That was really sweet of them!
Thank you family!
The Real World
03.16.05 (5:13 pm) [edit]Isn't if funny how breaking into a real job or profession is so scary? I am looking at summer internships right now and I am thinking back to all my classes here at North Central:
Did I really learn anything? Or did it go in one ear and out the other? As far as an internship goes, I know I would work really, really hard. I am just concerned that my skills won't take me as far as I need to go.
Or is this a normal feeling for everyone who graduates high school/college and goes on to find something professional?
Yikes!
Good, smart man
03.08.05 (5:52 am) [edit]I couldn't pass on displaying this quote.

--Aristotle
Wow.
fast or fat food?
03.06.05 (11:27 pm) [edit]If you have to eat fast food, I would reccomend stopping at Wendy's. Not only do they have a good dollar menu, they also offer a fresh fruit bowl or cup ( a bit pricey, but worth it if you are road tripping and don't have a real knife to cut up fruit like melons), and alternative sides that are not just french fries. Instead of french fries, you can order chili, side salad, caesar salad, baked potato and other sides.
What a deal! This is not a promo for fast food or for Wendys, but come one . . . who can resist so many choices for a side order? Plus, they also have chocolate milk, etc. for different drinks and good-sized salads for $4-5.
I used to be a Taco Bell girl (they have taco salad and offer decent amounts of tomatoes in their dishes) but now I'm flirting with Wendy's :)
What's your healthy alternative in fast food?
