Why do you hate poor people, and the handicapped, and orphans, and puppies, ....and little babies?!?<BR/>I still think the Murphy family should have moved to Pleasant Ridge instead of West Chester.

I think it is "better" to live in the city; I think it is "better" to live among diverse people (I know names of homeless people in Clifton - aren't I cool? I feel so proud of myself right now...wait, oops). I think it is "better" to spend an afternoon building one relationship rather than handing out a hundred bottles of water. We do what we value most, and I value all of those things the most. If I didn't think my way was better, then I wouldn't do it.<BR/><BR/>But...the key (I think) is to value the Body of Christ; to understand that my way is the best for me, not for everyone; to celebrate the folks who meet Jesus through a bottle of water; to encourage people who value other things to pursue those things with passion and determination; and to not let the "pride" turn into judgment.<BR/><BR/>When it's about me, I elevate myself and my ways. When it's about Jesus, I celebrate the diversity of the Body. I'm still working on it being about Jesus.Steve Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769347413943816451noreply@blogger.com
