DROWNING IN OUR PLEASURES?
So, I'm off to Colombia this week to once again have my eyes and ears tuned to things beyond my own parcel of real estate! Inevitably these trips to other places always remind me of a couple necessary truths...
1. God has people who belong to him and are doing incredible things for Jesus everywhere!
2. People with less than me often live more free and selfless than me.
3. I am part of a culture that is drowning in it's own over-abundant pleasures.

4. I love being part of what God's doing in the world - including the part he is doing in me!
Where are you being tuned? Where are you being rescued from drowning?

And it's very much in line with thoughts I've been having of late re: what it looks like in my life to truly take up Christ's call to help the poor...
