We have gotten back from the trip and alas alack reality calls. A couple of final thoughts:
- Go to www.guthriegroup.com/laundromat to see the latest on the BAM project. There are items you can donate and many areas where you can make a real difference in the lives of people. We will update this page (listed above, not the blog) about once / month through the end of '2012. Please pray for God to give our team wisdom, courage and grace.
- Regardless if it's the neatly cut lawns that I commented on our first posts or the busy streets of India - without Him life is a vain pursuit. The many idols in India remind me of Do vs. Done. Whether it's a **checklist to go to the Ganga in the am ... and the pm to worship every day, or some **mental checklist that we keep in the hope that we will gain acceptance from God based on performance ... I'd encourage everyone reading to move over to the 'done' - and find your identify and future what He has done. www.needhim.org
- Get involved with a short term trip. The people that are serving need the encouragement - almost as we need a wake-up call of life outside of our fish bowl. Get involved - when we are poured out and emptied God can shape our faith
Special thanks to Lynn - I want to be like him when I grow up (really)
Special thanks to Amanda Joi - to go on a trip like this at (13) and smile like she did - what a great accomplishment & encouragement. You go girl.
Special thanks to Rahul & Lorette - Too much for words - to my brother & sister - thank you.
