4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillipians 4:4-9

Blood

Fun title, huh? :) Today was a good day. I had the privilege of volunteering at the Red Cross Blood Drive our church was having. I got to be the greeter/checker-in-er. And, at the end of the evening, I got to donate blood for the very first time. Since I've left the country every year for the last ten years it has made me ineligible. As much as it bums me out to know that it's been more than a year since I've been anywhere, it was a decent consolation prize to finally be able to give. I rejoice in the opportunity to play a part in helping to save lives!

Here's a few pics from the day...
The transformation of the fellowship hall
Where I spent most of the afternoon and evening
On the table, ready to give!
My first time donor sticker :)
