I think I read about it on your blog.<BR/><BR/>as an aside: Don't you love books on tape for long road trips?<BR/><BR/>RachelRachel Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521049514947951900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10542817.post-1136392322969313492006-01-04T11:32:00.000-05:002006-01-04T11:32:00.000-05:00Rachel - On the way back from Minnesota Aaron and ...Rachel - <BR/><BR/>On the way back from Minnesota Aaron and I listened to the book The End of the Spear. You would like it. The author is one of the sons of the missionaries that were with Jim Elliott. The author, at the age of 9 or 10 went to stay with the tribe and grew up among them. As an adult he goes back to help them rely on theirselves and not handouts. The movie comes out Jan. 20th. I'm pumped.

Also, I learned to blog; again, thanks to you. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if you are aware of how precious the last 2 years of your friendship has been to me. (Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of my coming tot his church. I let everyone else in the family sleep in one more time before going back to work/school and I went out and scouted the church out.)<BR/><BR/>Actually your last post said a lot. I have been pondering a response because I react in much the same way (only not as creatively and without the underlying admiration) to well-accomplished people. I will share what God has taught me about that on your blog soon.<BR/><BR/>(I was going to do resolutions yesterday until Paster Baker preached. I might still do a How can I grow spiritually post.)Rachel Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521049514947951900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10542817.post-1136153842650115862006-01-01T17:17:00.000-05:002006-01-01T17:17:00.000-05:00Regarding response number 2, PLEASE ask. Sometime...Regarding response number 2, PLEASE ask. Sometimes it is hard to know how one comes across. I would hate to be seen as patronizing, but it would be worse to be seen as not caring. <BR/><BR/>Regarding the entire post, WELL SAID!! I have been pondering this today. Perhaps my last post on my blog covered some of this. But, I shall continue to think and let you know what comes up. <BR/><BR/>One other thing I wish you would have listed: In 2005 you learned to become an encourager and to speak wise words to a small group of people. Don't count this as unworthy although this might seem "safe" to you, for to others this might not be safe, nor might it be the place that they are to speak. You served God and for that I give thanks!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349493335246465504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10542817.post-1136144996227502142006-01-01T14:49:00.000-05:002006-01-01T14:49:00.000-05:00I learned that it is our responsibility as a churc...I learned that it is our <BR/>responsibility as a church to be available and active in the lives of the children growing up in the church. I became aware of the role I have as a Sunday School <BR/>teacher. If I were not teaching Sunday School, I could easily hang <BR/>around with grown women, and smile patronizingly as their children rush by.<BR/><BR/>I also became aware that God has given me and Glen a church family who are to make themselves available and active in the lives of our children. Although they were baptized in another church, in another state, in another decade and in another century, the commitment that that group of believers made applies to this body.<BR/><BR/>If they do not know how they can help, it is my responsibility to ask. <BR/><BR/>This is trusting God!<BR/><BR/>--RachelRachel Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521049514947951900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10542817.post-1136144774623771372006-01-01T14:46:00.000-05:002006-01-01T14:46:00.000-05:00I have learned that God puts us into the situation...I have learned that God puts us into the situation we are in, for his own purposes.
