Here and There... Deja Vu?

Our thoughts and lives are in the here and now...Honduras....mobilizing and spurring on the Baptist churches. Doing our best to disciple. And to challenge others to think outside of the box. And to aim for quality of life among and toward those we minister. This is the HERE.

The THERE? Are we koo-koo for also thinking of places far and away? Why do our minds drift to placs beyond our own "box"? Are we in the Spirit, when our spirits seem only restless?

Our minds wonder back to the early 80's when Debbie got saved in BC, Cda. and I got saved in Texas. During those early 1980's we both (individually and later together) thought of lands far and away (Mexico, Puerto Rica, Los Angeles and Latin America). Graciously, the Lord allowed our hand to be to His plow & His hand to be upon our lives.

Deja Vu? So here we are now -- in the here & now: as Sarah is now off to her college years this month of April, and we find ourselves thinking again of places far and away.

"Lord, yes, keep up faithful unto your very heart for the here and now. But also, Lord, our heart aches for those places far and away."
