Escaping to the Cold

Alright, I'm a little distracted from my usual writing because I'm going to the Yukon tomorrow. I'm volunteering at the Canada winter games. I will be cooking for 6000 people a day for 20 days. Anyways I am quite unsure of what to expect, but I think I'll experience some tests of faith while I'm there. Although that reminds me of how many daily oppurtunities we have to set ourselves apart from the heathens. I can't help but quote Michelle, "don't do something that a non-christian could do just as well". I know I'm guilty of joining the wrong conversations, not serving with all of me, or avoiding my faith because of embarassment. Take time to asses daily situations and avoid compromising your integrity as a witness.

We are studying Acts in our weekly staff Bible study. I have missed most of the sessions because its been the busy season at work and I didn't have enough helpers. However, I am back and it was fantastic. This week was about our witness, and we came to some interesting conclusions.

Why are we so shy to "Represent" alone? Because we were built for community, and there is strength in numbers. Its a rare person who can stand alone and be left standing.

Cling to your Christian friends and family and your church. Cling to Jesus most of all, but know that he made us for fellowship.

If you want to learn more, I recommend the book by Cloud and Townsend, "How People Grow."

Have fun in the Yukon!

And if you like bulk cooking, spend some volunteer time with us! We feed 100,000 people a year! Thats 300 men women and children every day!
