My\u00a0Friday Five<\/a> is somewhat of a mishmash of stuff I have recently seen around the interwebs, some of which I actually kept\u00a0track of and others, I just remembered upon the writing of this post. Enjoy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After a truly stunning two-week\u00a0excursion\u00a0to China, there is just so much to catch up in life. Here are a few things that I offer for your contemplation, information and prayer.<\/p>\n

ONE | <\/strong>Last night while stumbling around a bit, I found myself on the site,\u00a0www.thisiswhyimbroke.com<\/a>. No website has been named so true and I am proud to say that I made it out without buying a roll of\u00a0 Glow-in-the-Dark Toilet Paper<\/a>, the\u00a0 Fun Runny Nose Shower Gel Dispenser<\/a> or the above pictured Pet Hoodie<\/a> . . . though I would not be\u00a0surprised\u00a0if this coffee mug<\/a> found its way into our kitchen some day.<\/p>\n

TWO | <\/strong> For those of you who live in a city where finding a convenient\u00a0parking space is like searching for a unicorn, you know that sometimes you know you are going to get a ticket, but you park in a space anyway. I am one of those who will park in at a one-hour meter and try my darndest to make it back in time. I usually make it back in time, but too often I am greeted by a $50 ticket\u00a0courtesy\u00a0of San Francisco\u2019s Department of Parking and Traffic. Well hello Pay By Phone<\/a>, the newest way to pay for your meter via your smart phone. Simply awesome and well worth the 45\u00a2 fee.<\/p>\n

THREE | <\/strong> This story of Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill I<\/a> having a very expensive watch photoshopped out of a photo has been making the rounds. While many were outraged and found justified ranting fodder<\/a> \u2013 and yes, I would question wearing anything on my body worth $30K<\/em> \u2013 my gut reaction . . . \u201cWhat\u2019s a watch?\u201d<\/p>\n

FOUR | <\/strong>Marion Barry is still in politics? What?!?!? For all of my friends in the Washington DC area, I\u2019m praying for you all especially after Barry\u2019s latest comments when he said, \u201cWe got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops,\u201d Barry said. \u201cThey ought to go. I\u2019m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.\u201d He claims that these comments were taken out of context and offered his version of the \u201cI am sorry that you were offended\u201d apology, but again . . . What?!?!?\u00a0[h\/t: Angry Asian Man<\/a>]<\/p>\n

FIVE | <\/strong> With my family\u2019s history of gun violence seeing the headlines about the Oikos College murders<\/a> when we returned from our trip has been\u00a0particularly\u00a0wrenching. Thankfully the numbers indicate that instances of these kinds of rampages are going down<\/a>, the pain inflicted on the families,\u00a0communities\u00a0and generations to come are too great\u00a0to measure. I am so grateful for my hometown paper, the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> for their handling of this story. Yes, there has been much commentary on the social and political implications, but they have also been running stories on each of the shooting victims<\/a>. Well done. Please keep in prayer the Oikos community, the families of the victims<\/a>, the shooter<\/a> and all who die as a result of gun violence.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
