		<title>Commission on the Status of Women at United Nations in NYC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I received an email from the Divinity school list-serve that was soliciting Presbyterian women to be delegates for the 56th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) at the United Nations in NYC.  I clicked the link to find out more about this year&#8217;s commission and discovered the Priority theme is [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 seconds of fame!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Monday I received an email from ABC producer Brian Hartman who wanted my permission to use a few seconds of my YouTube Video from 2008 about a cruise ship lifeboat drill for a story about cruise ship safety on World News with Diane Sawyer.

		<title>Christina&#8217;s World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This semester I am taking a play-writing course as part of my electives for my Masters of Divinity.  I would like to explore plays as a form of &#8220;message&#8221; and/or &#8220;sermon&#8221; for worship or discussion settings in the church.  I think narrative in play form is a perfect way to address issues we do not [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone of my closest friends told me that I HAD TO see The Help.  After going to see it tonight&#8230; I know why! Could their be anything more worth while than telling of cross-cultural stories of suffering, healing, pain and hope?!  I was deeply touched by the moive for 100 different reasons &#8212; most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a long flight, I reached the US.  I arrived in around 1:00pm central and went to my house.  I forced myself to stay awake and made an appointment at the Apple/Mac store at 7:30pm to get my computer fixed (they fixed it before I left… but the screen flickered the whole time I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaving&#8230; but somehow just beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My bags are packed (well mostly packed) and some of me is ready to go… but the other part is just getting started here. Yesterday I had an amazing meeting with an amazing women named Sarah who is earning her masters of theology at Uganda Christian University.  She was introduced to me through Dr. Nassaka.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Canoeing on Lake Victoria to Kenya A few weeks ago I traveled to Bussia, a town on the border of Uganda and Kenya.  I only have a single entry visa to Uganda – so I wasn’t planning on crossing the border – BUT when my friend told me that it was a 30 minute, 10,000 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leading Women&#8217;s Reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday I lead a workshop for women in a village near Busia on the Kenyan – Uganda border.  When the program was arranged, I tried to explain… wait, I don’t want to lead a workshop, I want to hear from the women.  But it was no use, I would lead a day workshop for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Musungu Challenges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am in my fifth week here and I finally hit a wall&#8230; I must be honest about some of my external and internal challenges.  I feel like African mission work is extremely glorified in the States, but it is difficult for me – I am always outside of my comfort zone.  People are welcoming [...]]]></description>

		<title>Somehow these tangents connect in my head&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s been 4 weeks in Uganda and I still wake up in the morning under my mosquito net and think… Whoa, I’m in Africa. Sometimes it’s not the mosquito net that reminds me… it’s the blaring radio music as early as 7:30am.  There is a constant backdrop of pop music played from house windows, restaurants, [...]]]></description>
