(...and still watching the movie...)
WHAT I LEARNED OVER CHRISTMAS BUT REALIZED TODAY: Throughout most of my life, I can recall asking God, why didn't He make me like so-and-so. Have you ever felt ashamed that you couldn't do something like someone else could? I had this knack for seeing others' strengths as my weakness upon which I needed to improve. For example I am a horrible speaker, I mean just ask anyone who has ever met me how many times I can stick my foot in my mouth in one sentence, you will be absolutely astounded!!! And yet I would hear my best friend preach and silently wonder why I couldn't make such things understandable as he? So instead of seeing others' strengths as my weakness, gotta focus on my strengths. If you don't know what yours are, start complimenting others on their strengths and pretty soon they will point out yours. Ya dig?
DECISION MADE WHILE ON A BUS RIDING TO SONGTAN: That I will be happy/content to be "Will Gray" and seek the Lord to be the best me that I can (Lord help us all!).
GOD'S GRACE MANIFESTED: Had my first pilgrimage out to Songtan to open up '05 and it was nice. While eating lunch at Popeye's, I read Genesis 7 where God sends the flood, and I had to stop and sincerely thank God because I almost went to Thailand with the rest of the staff for Christmas break. You see, I decided to attend this evangelism conference in North Carolina which brought me to the States and if it hadn't been for that, I might've been somewhere in the Pacific Ocean thanks to that tsunami... on top of that, I realize how my mother would've taken that, losing her dad and not knowing if I was okay. That would've been too way too much for her to handle. My prayers go out to the families who did lose someone, God please help them. Keep seeking!

You'll be watching that movie forever..its is stank long. However, I think its starting to grow on me.
I think your new resolution to be content with Will Gray is very good. You are a lot further than a lot of us are.
Thanks Rachel, appreciate the kind words. As for starting to grow into The Lord of the Rings... excellent.
"Shock mocker".. excellent wordage.
It's alright. Like I said, some of it is ranting. However, being the queen of ranting myself, perhaps I have a better time reading through it than some. The stuff that looks to be based on truth is fascinating.
Were the rest of your staff able to make it out of harm's way?
Personally, I'm not acquainted with "Will Gray." But I'm sure he's a bang-up guy =D
