Another politician takes the fall. Should I be surprised?
This recent resignation of Mr. Spitzer is particularly troublesome to me because I knew of him as the corporate reformer when I worked on Wall Street. For those of you who are not familiar with Mr. Spitzer's career, in the early 2000s, the former governor made his mark by pushing for investment banking reforms and busting white-collar criminals. He was that politician that was supposed to be different.
CBI has gone through much in this past semester, and it’s time for a quick update:
I've had the privilege of working closely in the process of securing HMCC's future home, particularly on the financial and legal end of things. It has been a joy for me because I have been able to utilize the skill sets that I gained while working on Wall Street and in corporate finance at General Motors; the years of projecting future cash flows on Excel to complete billion dollar transactions are now proving to be extremely useful!

There's a question that I've been mulling over for some time: why is it that following Christ seems to entail hurting my family, especially my parents, who have done nothing but sacrifice for me - changing my dirty diapers, driving me to violin/piano/swimming/tennis/etc. lessons, putting me through private school, delivering fruit to my desk as I studied late at night?
An excerpt from a recent New York Times article on why the 25th anniversary is so elusive for married couples:
“We know that somewhere between 40 percent and 50 percent of marriages dissolve,” said Barbara Risman, executive officer of the Council on Contemporary Families, a research group. “Now, when people marry, everyone wonders, is this one of those marriages that will be around for awhile.”

You know when you go to a buffet and you try a little bit of everything? That pretty much describes my Transformasphere journey.
We are currently in the midst of a historical election. In particular, the prospect of electing a woman as a candidate for presidency is a monument to the woman’s suffrage movements of the early 1800’s. The different waves of women’s movements that have taken place since then, have significantly shaped our perspective of what it means to be a woman today. As a Christian woman however, how do key values of the postmodern woman fit into Christian worldview? How do things such as power or freedom translate into a Christian woman’s thoughts, behavior and relationships?
