My blog is getting outa OZ!

This past Sunday our core course visited Trinity church. This is the church that the Obamas belonged to in Chicago before all that jazz happened. (watched All That Jazz last night..so good..must.find.leotard). I must admit, I went into church thinking I was just an observer, I would listen politely, try and not be awkward. I ended up taking away so much more than just observations. Anyway, it was freaking amazing. Wait.. church...amazing? Yes. This was just beyond belief. Trinity is known for being very outspoken and did they ever speak out!!! The choir was amazing, everyone who spoke was amazing...AMAZING is the only word to describe it.

The sermon was about "getting out of oz" Dorothy style a la Wizard of Oz...surrounding yourself with good people and making your life what you want it to be; no excuses. What a relevant message from somewhere/one I didn't expect to relate to. He spoke to the broad human experiences that we all share as well as specific to the Chicago African American community.

SO with that in mind, I'm getting my blog out of Oz. New format! New background! An actual post! Blog, from now on I promise to update you regularly and give you the attention you deserve.

p.s. Going to Threadless tomorrow w/ the business group, AIC tomorrow night, the ballet on Friday! Best combo ever?
