A Thought:

Crack open my brain and you’ll find this intermingled with all my other thoughts.


No elderly man should have to bow down before a much younger boy. Where is the respect for elders? Where is the establishment of status? With age comes due respect, in a sense – not to completely negate humility or for that matter, idiots also.  But why is it that to some, a much younger boy (twenty-four is still considered young), would be exalted beyond such status? This is quite the case in many impoverished districts, which sadly enough is all too common here in India.

Next Chapter

As one month comes to a close, and I find myself turning yet another page in the calendar, in many ways it seems as though it went by fast but interestingly it feels as though time is going by just as it should - not too fast, not too slow. Sure, there were and still will be days where the day seems endless or days where I'm attempting to save as many hours as I can, but everything seems to be normal. 


I've been doing "alright." There has been some extremely difficult struggles that I've been enduring and learning from - mostly learning from than anything else. Details which I will keep to myself for now until I can fully regurgitate everything, but it has definitely been a roller coaster ride. Days of pure joy as my heart dances and sings, but also plenty of days where my heart was full of sorrow, down and tired. Regardless, God has been faithful to answer the many prayers and keep me within His embrace - oh how warm and comforting the arms of our Father! He's never far, He's always here, I (we) just fail to see it. How humbling and so reassuring is the love of God.

Learning from Nate "Otega" Henn

Nate "Otega" Henn LINK
I came across this story while browsing online for various ministries and missionary efforts around the world. Sure, I'm not doing something as significant - at least in my own eyes - as the ministry of physically rescuing lives, raising awareness of children abducted into hostile environments, etc. Regardless, Nate "Otega" Henn was doing what the Lord had given him a heart to do, serve and demonstrate the love of Christ to the Invisible Children of Gulu, Nothern Uganda.
