It was twenty-four years ago yesterday, and an early thaw had been followed by freezing rain that encased everything – buildings, trees, cars, and lawns – in up to two inches of clear, solid ice.
The world glistened with chandeliers, and much of it crashed under their weight.
Late last month, I got to ask leaders in SIM’s US and International offices what they see as the value in our assignment to South Africa. This video presents their words.
It’s good to be busy. Not for the sake of merely being distracted or overwhelmed, but to have the blessing of contributing to the world and its Lord.
I am swamped in material and tasks, and it is wonderful.
“Give or take a few days, we are now a year away from our departure for South Africa.”
I try to grow in my faith and understanding, to follow Jesus ever more closely, and to speak only things that uplift, inspire, inform, or amuse.
Like most people I know, though, I am human, and I sometimes say the wrong thing clearly or the right thing imperfectly.
Anything I say poorly is my own fault and should not be taken to reflect the views of my God, my church, my fellow Christians, or the missionary organization through which I formerly worked.
The opinions expressed on this site are my own opinions. They are not necessarily the opinions or views of my former employer, SIM, or any current or future employers.
