Growing up, I had the opportunity to go boating with the Cook family on the great Missouri river. We would ski and tube and sometimes we would make a stop on a sandy beach area where we could get out of the boat, stretch and swim around a bit.
At was always made very clear - "don't swim too far out from shore because the current is stronger out there and you will be carried away."
There have not been a lot of times in my life when I feel like I am in the middle of the current of the mighty river of the movement of God. But the more I spend my time and effort living out James 1:27, it sure seems like I can feel that current. The more I talk about, teach about and make practically caring for orphans and widows what I "do" with my faith, the more I feel my faith grow.
There have been many encouraging and amazing events since we returned from Ethiopia. I pray that God continues to allow me, my family and our church to be a part of His movement. As Birtukan would say - "Zot is goood!"
