I like what I'm reading here - thoughts that echo in my own heart. Thanks for this post and the next. I especially agreed with your arrogance of agape love post.

Keep up the fight!<br /><br />Helen--Thank you for coming by the Koffi House! You don't have to say anything wise, or funny for that matter. I AM glad to know that you came by! You are always welcome! I appreciate that you left a comment! I wonder if there are people who read this and never comment, or if it is only the 2-3 people who comment who read. Oh well! :-)Koffijahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466273132799665707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906161860339971347.post-44714145093231028322009-04-14T10:17:00.000-05:002009-04-14T10:17:00.000-05:00Hi Koffijah.

I don't have anything wise to say, but I thought I would let you know I was here today.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070555200892952455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906161860339971347.post-69215394463572972262009-04-14T05:41:00.000-05:002009-04-14T05:41:00.000-05:00I would imagine that learning the culture, allowin...I would imagine that learning the culture, allowing yourself to be taken to school by the people you hope to reach, could only benefit the missionary and ultimately, the mission. I've never served in a foreign land, but I have served in a food kitchen for victims of Katrina. People sense when you feel superior to them, and boy was I ever convicted of that feeling! I find myself going back to <A HREF="http://http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%202:1-18;&version=31;" REL="nofollow">Philippians 2</A> over and over again, because I struggle with my pride. It's such an ugly thing, and it sneaks up on me when I'm least expecting it. It goes back to how you love a person I suppose.katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.com
