I thought that until last week. It snowed and I didn't have power for a week. I kept saying to myself "I'd make a lousy missionary." I'm too spoiled.
Mornin'! it is a cold one here...37 to start the day! WHERE is my warm weather??
Was the snow what knocked out your power? That's tough. I think I'm spoiled too. I would really have to get out of my comfort zone.
God is pushing me out of my comfort zone. too...owie...![]()
No, but it's always worth it in the end. My 'run and hide corner' doesn't look so comforting anymore.That's how we grow Sis, it ain't easy is it?
What is that?For me getting out of that attitude has been hard and is still hard. The aWAKE Project is what woke me up to what was going on outside of my comfort zone.
What is that?
Very interesting! I'll have to look for that book. I wonder if the library might have it.[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]About the Book
The aWAKE Project is a unique book and provocative book regarding the AIDS crisis in Africa. In June of 2001, Dr. Volney P. Gay, Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at Vanderbilt University, using a grant from the Templeton Foundation, conceived of a conference called AIDS and Africa: Science and Religion to take place on October 19, 2002. In June of 2002, he and Jenny Eaton, a Vanderbilt Ph.D. candidate and editor at Thomas Nelson, Inc., hosted a luncheon with Thomas Nelson colleagues David Moberg, Jerry Park, and Kate Etue. At that table was born The aWAKE Project.
The Vanderbilt conference unites persons across religious, political, and racial lines; this book embraces a spectrum of religious and political thought. The conference and this book help us confront ourselves and our responses to the AIDS pandemic. The aWAKE Project was unveiled at the Vanderbilt University Conference on October 19, 2002. [/FONT]
