Enroute, Jeff has been plucking away on his laptop like a madman, shuffling through his detailed notes, and trying to commit our already fading memories to writing. Jeff is a master at observation and analysis. I’m confident he’ll bring order and clarity to the jungle book of experiences we’ve had. I think I can speak for both of us in saying that this trip had more of a personal impact on us than we anticipated.

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Saturday, March 6, 2010. Burgers With V. and J. Thursday, March 4. For their protection, I cannot tell you where these 2 guys are from. They live in a place where Islam is radicalized and Christians are being mobilized. Over a Thursday night re-entry meal of burgers and hot dogs I sat mesmerized for over an hour as they shared their lives and their lifestyles. I can’t tell you their real names, so let’s just call them V. and J. The mullah agreed with V.

Sue sent this blog link to me with some comments (below): http:/ www.techherding.com/2009/04/celebrate-what-you-suck-at/. That's one big lie from the pit.we end up spending all our energy on things He created other people to shine at and only have time to function in a substandard way within our own strengths because we've run out of time to focus on improving our strengths. Did that make sense?

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Friday, February 26, 2010. Don't Eat at Short Tables. We enjoyed a couple of important meetings on Friday. The first was a chicken and mashed potatoes lunch with an update from AB. We postponed the afternoon tour of Astana for a short retreat to the King Hotel to repair some jet-lag. And we met later with B., the local director of the organization. However, by dessert time my right leg was asleep. And by the time I stood up to leave, you couldn't convinc...

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Friday, January 23, 2009. What Frustrates You About Youth Ministry? I think the group of youth workers I meet with are awesome.

The answers revealed a group of young men who really care about kids and who get mad when kids aren't treated right. Church board discussions where they talk about the thermostat in the gym rather than how we can reach the unchurched. Leaving ...
