I'm going to challenge my team to listen, at home, church, when they're out, and try to keep a list of the different comments they hear. And I'm going to "borrow" the idea for my blog, too! (You know, in some circles, using someone else's ideas or information is called "research.") Hmm…Dave’s comment started my brain (at least, it’ll still start!).

And for those of us who have gone on such trips, it's our responsibility to relay that to those who haven't...so they can start thinking differently about the way we're blessed in our country...and how we are called to bless others. Thank you for taking time to read and comment, Kelly. Kelly,

We rarely stop to think that those living in poverty don't ever get one...yet we fret so much over how we're going to spend chunks of money for recreation. Good addition to the list. As always, thanks for reading and commenting! Yeah Vicki, that’s a great example!

We gain a window, albeit a small one, into the way other people live. I love this idea, Tim. That’s the power in missions trips, isn’t it?

Here's a very small sample of things we have said, recently, and every year for the past seven years: Where are we going for vacations (pl), this year? Man! I wish we'd gone to _____, again, this year! Oh, well; at least we're going to ____ in June. Do we want to go to ____ in late September, or early October? Good list, Tim.
