Please keep her in prayer if you see this comment.<br /><br />Also, keep in prayer the Kurrle family, missionaries with our organization in Paraguay. They were in a car accident today, and the wife and son were killed, leaving just the husband and the newly adopted baby daughter. So tragic!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168408977811339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-79166963789828855242012-04-18T21:42:16.030-06:002012-04-18T21:42:16.030-06:00Funny you should mention Francis Chan.

Keeping both in mind really helps to keep perspective and stop coveting like you mention.<br /><br />The adventure-turned-drudgery, but oh, so worth it - that's another blog post topic for sure!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168408977811339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-49481124675046093082012-04-16T03:36:10.822-06:002012-04-16T03:36:10.822-06:00Amen, sister!

Just last week, I enjoyed a passion week with Crazy Love (Chan) that also reminded me again and again of what my priorities should be. <br /><br />I have to feed myself with the truth that eternity is real, or I start coveting EVERYTHING on earth. God has called me away from many things, in order for me to invest not in this world (and not in my fleshly passions) but in eternity. A study of I Peter with my team this year has had the same theme. When we were young, living overseas was an adventure. Now, our lives make no sense without the calling of God to a supernatural purpose. We desperately need to renew our sense of calling, and eternity!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516296097635938529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-26219466836709281612012-04-12T15:25:36.597-06:002012-04-12T15:25:36.597-06:00Thanks, Tom.

I think we are in for culture shock, in a good way! God bless and keep up the great work! tomtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451046953214828399noreply@blogger.com
