Goal of the Week

I'm well aware of the sense of urgency I have written about in my past posts. Well here's a different spin. I need to SLOW DOWN. I used to take my time at literally everything--walking, reading, growing (yes I know this is funny now), getting ready for school, developing into a talented athlete. Just recently I've experienced

This morning a missionary from South Africa gave the sermon at my church. He was talking about how time is not an issue in Africa. Katelyn has also said this and I think that's why she fits in so well and feels at home over there. If you see someone you don't just rush on or have a "hi. how are you? bye." conversation by like people do here. You stop and have a meaningful conversation, because we never know when all a person needs is to talk to someone for five minutes in order to make their day or save their life. My goal of the week--of course it would be right at the end of the semester--sllllllllllooow dooooowwwnn. We'll see if I meet it.
