I'm headed to Texas to see some more friends. I hated leaving home and after only a few days here I hate leaving K.C.
I can't imagine describing these past few days in a quick blog I write as I head out the door...so maybe I'll give it a few days. I'll just say that it's incredibly inspiring/encouraging to be around these friends and see their lives in the midst of a culture/context that's totally out of my realm of day to day existence. A friend recently was talking about how we tend to marginalize God/church/prayer and put together little pockets of entertainment or scheduled services/meetings/God moments and if you do some good things and say some God things...well some folks will be inspired and grow a bit. It's largely collateral though...I don't think it's enough.
Maybe we've lived in the 20/80 rule for so long that we've accepted it?
See what I'm doing here? I'm trying to sum up 10,000 thoughts in a quick blog I write as I head out the door...
The bottom line is that I've learned in Kansas City that they have a small group of people who regularly meet with the simple goal of putting together the most disgusting Indian food you've ever experienced. And they do it very well...
and maybe I went a little overboard on these/things, huh?
