Thank you for knowing that God is worth the risk and that as your doorman can testify, your "finding your home in God" has eternal benefits, despite the risk.<BR/><BR/>I'm proud of you and am blessed to have served with you.<BR/><BR/>Dan GildnerDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283604040504998431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027088578736638407.post-39581885114918851022008-11-05T12:22:00.000-06:002008-11-05T12:22:00.000-06:00Loren,You are one crazy luchador. And we love you ...Loren,<BR/><BR/>You are one crazy luchador. And we love you for it. We do pray for your success and safety there in Ecuador. Admittedly, I hope we can work together again sometime, so I don't want you to get gunned down.<BR/>Ok, I wouldn't want you to get hurt even if we're never in the same country again anyway, but I hope you catch my drift. <BR/><BR/>I've been struggling with the idea of what "trusting in God" really means. I'm not exactly sure what it DOES mean, but I'm pretty sure I know what it DOESN'T. He doesn't guaranty us or the ones we love safety. In fact, he straight-up tells us "all men will hate us because of [him]." Quite the sales-pitch to follow the Son of God, eh? He doesn't promise us health or wealth or good families or even stretchy-pants. He doesn't really promise us much anything. Oh, except for the fact that he will never leave us or forsake us, and in the end of the end, we will shine with him like the stars. This whole delayed-gratification thing is a real chap in the butt. But don't let anything shut you down or stop you. You're gonna die, but so is everybody else. This is YOUR chance to serve Ecuador in a way that only YOU can in THIS season, and God has brought you there for such a time as this. <BR/> <BR/>So go on, get gunned down for the Lord, just do it with a smile on your face and love in your heart.<BR/>I know you will.<BR/><BR/>you are missed,<BR/>-Corbin<BR/><BR/>PS: If you get all shot up, can I have your laptop?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
