The Mixing of People


Have you ever noticed how people who are alike group together? All of the "cool" people hang out, and the athletes, and the "smart" people. What would happen if everyone decided to mix things up? The bench warmer, who might be one of the "smart" people, might get to play. Maybe a "cool" person could learn some things from a "smart" person. If everyone mingled together, we could create a world where almost everyone would get along. If the world got along, more people could become Christians, and if the entire country of America as a Christian nation, we could spread out to other parts of the world, taking the gospel with us. Right now there aren't enough pilots that will fly to other countries to bring food and supplies. There aren't enough ordinary people, coming from ordinary lives, who can leave their lives for just a couple of weeks, and go hold a baby who has no one, pray over a mother who needs help, or talk to a lonely child. If people could mix with each other and become a strong group of Christians, there might be more people who would leave their lives for a while and step into someone else's shoes. Someone else's shoes might be dirty, worn out, or they might not fit the person. But that doesn't mean they're not still a person that God created, and maybe they need you.

More About Moving

I'm getting more and more excited about moving. It is also getting harder. Today we had our last meeting with our co-op group. I've known most of that group my whole life. Even worse, I could sense a sadness in the group today. Maybe some of you can relate. Well, I'm not going to feel sorry for myself. Although I'll miss all my friends here, my BEST friend (Jesus) will be with me no matter if I'm in Honduras or Peru.
Is there anything anyone would like to see me write about? I'd love to hear your questions and ideas.
