We are called to the hardest, most labor instensive work of all - we are called to love. If this is the goal to which we strive, if this is the target at which we aim, then hatred is not possible. Crime against our neighbors cannot happen. Condemnation be it verbal or physical cannot be permitted. We are called to love, we are called to work together hand-in-hand, heart-in-heart. We will only be as good as the goodness we are able to find in others." <BR/><BR/>that dog will hunt... or that will preach.<BR/><BR/>I am fortunate to work alongside of such a gifted and sensitive soul. You and Arron have great compassion. <BR/><BR/>I can relate to respect struggle with youth ministry. it takes time, and you'll have to wait for the moments where you can bond and teach. But. I can tell you this- the kids and family and our church are stronger just by your presence among us. <BR/><BR/>justice, peace & grace.dwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998160874633141286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309795226436394649.post-13571509189229331302008-07-11T22:17:00.000-04:002008-07-11T22:17:00.000-04:00@Xeno:I love when life lets us combine useful with...@Xeno:<BR/>I love when life lets us combine useful with entertaining.
