		<description><![CDATA[Reading another article at SciAm today &#8211; The Moral Call of the Wild: A study suggests that spending time in nature changes our values. The basic gist of the article is a new study has &#8220;shown&#8221; (I&#8217;d have to see more about the structure and methodology of the study to remove the quotes) that people who spend more time in the natural world are more other-focused and less self-focused. They suggest that the trend of our society spending less and less time outside with the birds and bees over the last 30 or 40 years is correlated with us becoming more and more self-focused, and that time spent in nature actually changes our values. Interesting concept. I&#8217;ve always loved being outside. For a time in my teens and 20s, I would get distinctly anxious if I couldn&#8217;t spend enough time in the outdoors. I still get mildly depressed in the winter when the light level drops and bounce back again in the spring, but the angst I used to experience has gone away since I became a Christian. What I really found interesting about the article, though, was one of the comments by &#8220;Babbin&#8221; &#8211; Since when is caring about others more important than caring about yourself? Wow! Like since the whole of recorded history, dude! When I decided to officially embrace atheism just after high school, I did my own unofficial comparative religion study (I would do this again later, officially, in college which simply confirmed the conclusions I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In one of the towns we pass through you will see this church at one end of town and this house with a devil mask over the door. Pretty much everywhere you will see houses with crosses painted on each side of the door, but this doesn&#39;t mean the people who live there are Christian. I&#39;ve been told that the crosses are supposed ward off evil spirits. Pray for the spiritual darkness to be lifted. This particular town was one where Bibles were distributed in the school last year. The great need now is for a church and people who can disciple those in whose hearts God has been working. In fact, one of the team leaders said the other day that every town where we&#39;ve taken God&#39;s Word into the schools needs a church. Pray for laborers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the last school of the day on Tuesday, my van arrived later than the others, and there were just a few classrooms, so I didn&#39;t go in. As I was standing outside looking around, I noticed an older woman looking out her front window, so I waved and smiled. She smiled and waved back, so I walked over and we exchanged names and the fact that neither of us spoke the other&#39;s language. By this time, there was quite a gathering of interested people, so we started passing out tracts. The others got done in the school, and had some Bibles left in the boxes, so we started giving them to the people who were standing around. I went over and got one for Victoria and took it over to her. She was very appreciative. As I walked away, I could see she was already reading her new Bible. I went back and asked for her photo and thanked her.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, the ladies&#8217; class discussed one of the most fascinating single verses of scripture we&#8217;ve arrived at to date. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. John 12:27-30 I still remember the instant in December 1997 when I went from not believing there even was a God outside of anyone&#8217;s immagination to being so sure he was actually in my car with me and had just changed my radio station that my whole life took an INSTANT 180 degree turn that hasn&#8217;t changed direction since. My response to this God that day was, &#8220;Alright, you&#8217;re there. Now what?&#8221; (Real reverent, I know. LOL) It has occurred to me more than once over the years that the biggest miracle that day was not my radio station changing, but rather that my heart was changed. Had I arrived at that day with the same heart that led me to disbelieve in God in the first place, I would have done just what the Jews in John 12 did &#8211; explained it away &#8211; looked for a natural....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are people who are depending on us to get them the Gospel before they die. Jim Henline I think that one speaks for itself. I&#8217;ve been reading Eternity in their Hearts by Don Richardson this week. It&#8217;s full of stories of entire people groups for whom this is literally true. Makes me wonder about any church that would not make Acts 1:8 their &#8220;life verse.&#8221;]]></description>
