Today is thanksgiving, nothing deep to post, just a log of today's events. I stopped over at a friend's house - ate, got sleepy then drove off to another family's house and sat with them for a while. Lesson learned, more is required of me -- more being PRESENT rather than in attendance.
I am feeling encouraged though, because I was able to exercise a very special gift that God has given me (as a youth) and God confirmed his word for this lady. Felt really good about that, not for my glory, but because it made sense for her.
I was (on the other hand) rather disappointed at the intensity of hatred expressed for a popular TV minister by a friend today. In the midst of discussing missionary work in India -- and how the US version of the Gospel has been so perverted with, "Get god and he'll give you all your (material riches and...) needs", I shared that when dealing with citizens of the 3rd World, that the gospel must go unadulterated: The Hope in Jesus. You cant tell me that you're gonna go over there, lay your hand on the shoulder of a young child sleeping in a train station and say, "Get saved, God will give you a house" to a child who sniffs glue to starve off hunger pangs.
Thats all for tonight -- I'm calling it an early night. Work starts in the morning. Tata Fam.
