Susan LaffertyIn the early 1980s, I was invited to a strategic gathering.
Large group. All different ages. Raised in countries on every continent. Brought together on purpose.
Why? To gain understanding of a term coined by Ruth Hill Useem in the 1950s.
And now found in Webster’s dictionary.
Third culture kid. TCK.
Desert city sojourn.
And I wade in the book of Isaiah. Meditating on the prophet’s words. For months.
Soaking in these passages that sound familiar. Close to home.
Scripture speaks true. Pointing out rebellion.
And revealing His compassion.
PowerLunch day at our church in Birmingham, Alabama. 2018.
This meant it was the first Tuesday of the month. And Shades Mountain Baptist was serving a delicious lunch for $5. As usual, Pastor Danny would give a brief talk centered around biblical principles of leadership.
Open to the community, these lunches always drew a good crowd from local businesses.
