Beautiful People: Dealing with Good
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007/03/dealing-with-good.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Thursday, March 8, 2007. Compassion is the correct response. When we see people hurting or hungry; lonely or cold; widowed or orphaned; sick. or just broken down on the side of the road. It is a good. Thing that we feel sympathy as we witness them. That is a good quality within us. The good in us. To be good (though I find the two difficult to separate). Why would someone who had no desire to be good, care about the perception of why. Yes, it's wron...

Beautiful People: Why Not?
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007/02/why-not.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Friday, February 23, 2007. A lot of Christians have this attitude about only having the ability to act or perform, when they act "with God.". It often comes out in statements like, "I can't do this. Without God." Or, ". it. I think the root of this belief is very good. even noble. But I'm not sure it's accurate. Maybe it stems from John 15:5 where Jesus says,. But we do things without Him all the time, don't we? God made us very capable. Like they'r...

Beautiful People: Defining Moments
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007/02/defining-moments.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Saturday, February 24, 2007. People really are beautiful. Someone suggested to me that I should link to something I wrote a while back. It's an entry on my old blog, about an experience I had in Brazil. It's one of the entries I'm more proud of, so I have no problem agreeing to the suggestion, and sending you there. now. I recently heard someone refer to these instances in our lives as "defining moments". Brazil was definitely one of those for me.

Beautiful People: What To Expect
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-to-expect.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Friday, March 16, 2007. The excitement for this trip has been building and building inside of me. It's fascinating, all of the different realities, countering dreams, countering realities, etc. that wash over me at any possible time of the day or night. And still it's the excitement and purpose that permeate every step of it. Do I think I'm going to change the world? How about 6 months? But I believe I'm going to change somebody's. I find myself str...

Beautiful People: May 2007
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Thursday, May 17, 2007. I apologize for taking so long to write. The internet isn't as efficient as I'd hoped. I've received several great and encouraging emails from friends and family, and the moment I hit "send" on a reply. it went down. (Apparently to send (or "upload") affects the connection more than to receive (or "download" (for you silly laymen) . We arrived safely, without incident, and with all of our luggage (some of the others weren't s...

Beautiful People: Answers Without Questions
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007/03/answers-without-questions.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Friday, March 2, 2007. So, this season in my life has been. different. I've always been able to pursue God about specific things and get relatively clear answers. Whether it be a simple peace to act in this way, or an excitement to go that way, or a definite confidence in what needs to be done. But the past several months, maybe close to a year, every time I've pursued Him for answers, I've found Him. So here I am. thinking. But have a look at Adam ...

Beautiful People: Would a Rose Still Smell as Sweet...
http://toafrica.blogspot.com/2007/02/would-rose-still-smell-as-sweet.html
I'm Going to Africa. This is where I tell you about it. Monday, February 26, 2007. Would a Rose Still Smell as Sweet. Have you ever wondered on the amazing nature of God? God Who revealed Himself to us in a way that requires us to take on a part of His nature every time we even just say His name? When Moses came upon the burning bush, God told him His name is, "I Am.". And those two simple words also make up the smallest, shortest sentence acceptable in the English language. A subject and a verb. Who is ...
