Portland: Plan of Attack

Hey all!

So I have two parts in the overall production of the publication we are creating for EN-200.

I am on a team of three researching Govt. v.s. Private food donations/organizations and basic aid, as well as how to get involved, how to find basic aid, and holiday giving trees.

I am also on the design team and am very excited to help put all the components together and see the finished publication through! I already have some layout ideas floating around my head.

I am Bankrupt Without Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 from the NLT, NIV, and Message Bibles:

Love is Patient

Love is Kind

Love does not Envy (is not Jealous)

Love is not Boastful or Proud

Love is not Rude

Love is not Selfish

Love does not Anger Easily

Love Forgives (keeps no record of wrongs)

Love Rejoices in the Truth

Love never Gives Up

Love always Protects

Love always Trusts…Never loses Faith

Love always Hopes

Love Endures…Love always Perseveres

Love “Never Looks Back but Keeps Going to the End”

To Die For

This last weekend I went to church with my boyfriend and his family. After church we went out to lunch at a little restaurant in Se Portland that is SO good! It is called Pine State Biscuits (http://www.pinestatebiscuits.com/)

If you haven't ever been there, put it on your list of places to eat before you die! (or leave Portland)

I had a biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, an egg, and cheese. WOW! Best fried chicken I have ever tasted and the biscuit comes in second only to the chicken.

I am getting hungry just telling you about it!

(however, this little gem is full of all that stuff we aren't supposed to eat...so maybe just a treat once a year...or a month ;))

Portland: Groups

Today in class we started focusing on what themes/aspects of Homelessness and Poverty that we want to cover or that seems like it would be interesting to research.

The team I am on (Alyssa, Jennika, and myself) will be focusing on the access to basic needs such as food and shelter. Another aspect that a classmate suggested, that ties in and fits with the holidays coming up, is the giving trees that Salvation Army and Angel Tree have for the holidays and what are the "needs" for those.

I believe this will be an interesting aspect to cover and I am excited about the design/layout of the publication as well!
