Every snowflake pleads 'not guilty' when an avalanche occurs.
"For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?..."
~ 1 Corinthians 2:11 (NIV)
Several people that I know have recently came back from overseas missionary trips. Believing in the great commission, someday, I hope to also have the opportunity to serve much the same way in some capacity.
But for right now, my focus remains in my own backyard. There is so much in the way of need. Why isn't there more interest being shown about the issues taking place, right here, in my own backyard? Why are Christian brothers and sisters so readily able to contribute to a overseas cause; yet, tend to ignore, shrug helplessly, look the other way or are either extremely reluctant to help those in our own backyards?
So, until then...
I will continue to do for others what I can, right where I am, one person at a time.
