Sent

Sent ones. Sowing seeds of the gospel. 

Serving all across South America. For many, many years. 

In 2022, we travel to Chile. 

On our journey, we meet Chilean brothers and sisters in Christ. And hear stories. Testifying to the fruit of these servants who sowed seeds years ago and planted their lives. 

For the glory of God.

Pause

Pause in the afternoon.

Fix a small teapot of darjeeling. Or steep ginger herbal tea in porcelain cups. 

The simple cultural practice learned in other lands remains in my life today. 

Taking time. Away from chores and computer and concerns.  Sitting quietly or visiting with a friend.

Daily pause. To breathe.

Imperfect

Imperfect? Cast aside. Returned. Disposed of.

We look for something with all the parts and pieces intact. No scratches. Strong. Durable. Reliable. 

“As it should be.” 

This expectation? Just another subtle hint at the permanence we were made for. 

But meanwhile, things fall apart. Disappoint. 

Flaws come to light.
