August 19th

So, it's day 5 in Africa. Tensions are growing a little. We're very different people (in this group) who have spent a lot of really close time together now. Me and my roomies were talking tonight about our high's and low's of the day. We got into a discussion about how there's some serious complaining going on by some in the group who actually pastor churches and are maybe supposed to be a little more mature than that. I mean, everything is an adjustment and if you're constructively complaining about something you can actually affect then it might be a different story BUT that's not what this is. Yes, it's cold—very cold tonight actually. No, you're not likely to get a warm shower. The lights MIGHT stay on in the room tonight (if you pray to the God of the Lights. LOL). The food may be something you're used to. Your session might get out early. You can possibly go do some shopping and maybe, jut maybe the traffic won't be terrible. But, look. We're in Africa. The culture is different. The climate is different. The people are different. Things are just different. WE are ALSO supposed to be different. We're set apart aren't we? We've been called and are all running the race. We. Are. Holy. Let's act like it.
