Re: [scouting the divine] part one: the good shepherd

This is a really great picture of Jesus as the Great Shepherd! I can really appreciate how the deeper understanding of the shepherd(ess) makes the idea of Jesus as a Shepherd really come alive! This is a really powerful truth!

And not that it is about puffing ourselves up, but there is just something really cool about understanding that Jesus knows US so well that He can distinguish our voice from the flock. It is awesome to know that Someone so important pays that much attention to us!

Amen! Great post Don! Thanks for sharing as a part of this project!

I'm actually shocked at how many great photos (like these) that I got while in Kenya and Uganda! The children were amazing, and it was really cool to be able to photograph them like this....

And there is just something about magical about Africa... I definitely would love to go back and just take pictures the whole time!

Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts!

Wow; such wonderful pictures to share. I have one friend who went on a mission trip to Uganda last year and she has similar photos. Another went to Rwanda just this past semester. There truly is an entire people, an entire culture, that we know not of.

Yes Support letter are the key I remember when I was 17 and went to Romania it was a big help! Raising $3000 is a big deal to anyone let alone a 17 year old but with lots of hard work I made it!

Quite an amazing collection of photos. Makes one reluctant to complain about their church building here in the US.

Re: [the africa diaries] day seven: wrapping up business in kenya

BibleDude — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:34:58 -0000

The African sky was amazing, and being there in that moment looking at it made me think a lot about the eternal impact of what I was doing. It certainly has developed a hunger in me to do more, not only around the world, but even in my own backyard (under the Sarasota sky)...

That is a HILARIOUS story about the lion cub! I would have been laughing my butt off! (I can say butt on a Christian blog, right?) LOL! Thanks for sharing that story!

Re: [the africa diaries] day seven: wrapping up business in kenya

bobkiddy — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:54:46 -0000

i know a guy who paid money to pet a lion cub while we were in South Africa... He was in there for less than a minuite before screaming to be let out... The lion cub was nibbling on him a little lol... and claws were scratching him and tearing his cloths... I laughed so hard as they asked me if i wanted to pay to do the same I thought u gotta be crazy...
I know the African sky Im glad you got to be under it... Im excited for your journey and im glad your getting to spend your life on good things with greater rewards...

Nice study about how to study bible! I agree, one needs to try different methods. I personally have noticed that taking notes can be also very useful, as it keep you focused.

Re: keeping china in perspective

This report was written by Christina Kuo Graham who's ministry is in China, but I would love to hear other perspectives! I do know that from experiences that I've had in Africa, I can better relate to the idea of jumping in technology from the 45LP to the DVD overnight. This is an interesting jump in technology, and it creates a different type of environment and learning curve.

Please feel free to report back on your experiences! I'd love to hear more!

Interesting, being in China I am trying to see whether you are right.Will report back :)

Re: [highcallingblogs.com] the secret ingredient

BibleDude — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:12:35 -0000

I think to get the intent of this, you really should read the entire post at the link to highcallingblogs.com. This is just a short exceprt from the opening of the post. But your point is well taken...

However, I will say that during these prayer walks, our intent was not to strike up conversations with people, but to be on the streets of our city and pray. While we were doing so, this was merely an observation about the individualism that exists in our culture today. And that is not something that is unique to this prayer walk.

If you read the full article, then you'll also see that I make the observation that it seems to be the same way inside the church, and propose ideas that would be the solution to this problem (such as being intentional about talking with people...)

Next time you can vocally say "hello" to initiate that connection yourself, thus being pro-active. They could've been thinking the same thing..."That guy didn't even say "hi" to me...".
