It's So Easy...

Has it occured to any else that life is incredibly easy?  After hearing from Helmer & Shannon Jensen this morning at The Bridge, I'm amazed by how easy life really is here in the states.  Now I'll grant you, we go through hard times, but we have easy access to anything and everything our hearts desire.

We spent a big part of our afternoon with Helmer & Shannon and it's amazing to me the perspective they have.  By the way, Rachel is pretty much ready to pack it up and move to Africa tonight.  To walk into our homes, flip a switch and not have to wonder if the light will come on, or to run a bath and always have water readily available.  To walk out our front door and go anywhere we want without having armed guards with AK47's.

We may think that we have it tough because of this or that, but the bottom line is, we are blessed and I pray that God would open my eyes to see how clouded my view becomes because I don't need for anything, and often that includes Jesus himself......
