Do good with your web searching

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ June 16, 2006 ⋅ One comment

A few weeks ago, I heard via word of mouth that there was a search engine that would pay a charity of my choice one cent for each search I performed. That seemed like a really high number (a penny doesn’t sound like a lot, but multiply it by the daily searches on any [...]

What do you do at stop lights?

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ June 13, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

I received an forwarded email from one of my friends just now that was better than the average forward (to start with, it wasn’t patently false and didn’t order me to send it on). It was a collection of word trivia and other random (but interesting) facts. This one caught my eye:
If you [...]

Lo-Fi Faith Meme

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ May 26, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

I don’t usually do memes (primarily because I rarely get tagged!) but Robert sent this one and I thought it was interesting.
1: List three (3) words that describe your faith.
Hungry. Growing. Inconsistent.
2: Describe a belief you are certain about and one with which you struggle.
I’m certain that God exists and cares for me, and that [...]

Change your words to change your life

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ May 16, 2006 ⋅ 3 comments

I’m reading a book on decluttering and came across this particular piece of advice that seems applicable to just about all areas of life:
This book is not telling you that you “should” do this or “should” do that but it explains how keeping clutter can affect you so that you can make your own informed [...]

Prairie chickens versus eagles

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ April 12, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

One of my favorite writers, Karen Hancock, started a blog recently, and I added it to my daily feed. Some posts interest me more than others; I like her posts that kind of reveal the process behind the books (and now I have some clues as to what will happen in the next book!), but [...]

Loan some money

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ February 9, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

Just a very quick note to say that Kiva, who I talked about in a previous post, has partnered with additional organizations and now has a good selection of businesses looking for funding. I think I’m going to loan something to Zara�s Tailoring Shop.

Experience Retreat Number Three

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ February 1, 2006 ⋅ 4 comments

I’ve been kind of quiet lately because I’ve been processing. There’s so much to say and explain, and the more I think about writing it all out, the more overwhelming it seems. Those of you who have read this chronicle for a long time will know that my church, The Experience, has had [...]

Library book graffiti

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ January 18, 2006 ⋅ One comment

This made me laugh. I was reading the introduction to a book called The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success and the author was explaining with great enthusiasm how these laws will change your life. I turn the page, and lo and behold:

PARK(ing)

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ December 29, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

In an odd-but-cool project, someone(s) called “rebar” created “a temporary urban park“. This is strangely fascinating to me. Their website actually doesn’t explain very well what was done (I take that back—the text doesn’t, but the pictures do), but it sounds like they scouted out an ideal parking spot (good sun being the [...]

Another great charitible website

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ December 19, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve been a fan of the 24-7 Prayer folks for a while (especially since reading “Red Moon Rising“). I recently received an email from them announcing a new project: Living Generously.
This new site is essentially a directory of projects around the world that enable Christians to live out their convictions. They have a [...]
