Life...moving on

Hello again...if anybody even reads this ha. I've tried to get as much information out to people as I can about this blog, i'll keep trying and eventually post some pictures. I was thinking today just how life is going by so fast. Just last year at this time, I wasn't even dating Ashley, now ...a year later..we are married. One of my good buddies from college has a kid, other friends are married or getting married, it's pretty cool looking back as Christians and seeing how the Lord perfectly orchestrates everything, to His purpose and glory. Things here at the church are going well, it's very slow right now. I'm trying to start a program out of nothing. Basically I am trying to pull together groups of students who have never ever really had any reason to hang out together before, most are from different school districts, they are all on very different levels in their lives as well. I've been convicted recently about the importance of friendships, and how vital that is to the rest of life. I don't want the friendships I've made to just go to the wayside just b/c I'm out of the state. I am driven by being relational, it's who I am and who the Lord created me to be, and I want to do all that I can to still be that type of person, and to be there for people when they need me. I'm going to stop there b/c I really feel like I can fill this blog with a bunch of stream of consciousness that will drive people nuts. I read this info today and was intrigued by it..any thoughts..

" Farm workers who pick tomatoes for McDonald's sandwiches earn 40 to 50 cents for every 32-pound bucket of tomatoes they pick, a rate that has not risen significantly in nearly 30 years. Workers who toil from dawn to dusk without the right to overtime pay or any benefits must pick two tons of tomatoes to earn $50 in one day. Worse yet, modern-day slavery has reemerged in Florida's fields; since 1997, the U.S. Department of Justice has prosecuted five slavery rings, freeing more than 1,000 workers. As a major buyer of Florida tomatoes, McDonald's high-volume, low-cost purchasing practices place downward pressure on farm worker wages, putting corporate profits before human dignity. "
