All, About to board in AMS for Kenya. Read over my last entry and it sounds self centered and, no doubt, was in large part. Just to let you know, not completely consistent with the theology I know and love. It's all about Him, we're to go when, where, and in what capacity as Him dictates in His perfect will. But, it is sweet when our desires appear to be in alignment with His. Enough on that. Just a quick note on His incredible kindness on the way over. I sat next to a single, 49 yr old exec from Atl on his way to visit his 63rd and 64th countries on holiday. His goal would seem to be to see as many as possible. Well, he was already intoxicated and ordering drinks two at a time. In my usual self-focused zone, completely self-justified because of his condition. Reading Experiencing God in preparation to participate in the staff study sessions at Tenwek. He looked over and said, "God's a good thing to be reading about." Well, the Holy Spirit took control from there and we spend an hour talking about his life and going over the Gospel. His speech was so slurred, I doubted he would remember anything. But, this morning he thanked me, said he had stayed awake for two hours thinking about our discussion and seemed thankful of the offer for follow up communication. A seed has been planted. Please pray for Steve. Another example: you just have to available and willing and the Lord will do the rest. Praising Him for all His kindnesses. Yours in Christ, Ed
