And it is hard to listen when we are providing the answers!

I agree with you whole heartedly. If we are not acting in our local context, we are missing the boat. Excellent wrestling, by the way. in my experience, God honors and loves wrestling even when we are temporarily not certain of our actual choice. (learned this in a Presidential election some time ago.) You know how it is, as a teacher. One good question is much better than ten “good” answers. Answers shut down conversation; questions open them up!

Well, I think we should all be missional, no matter where we are. I think in this post I was wrestling with some of those issues. Think locally and act globally is what people sometimes say but I am not sure that is correct. Think locally and act locally and globally may be better. Appreciate the visit!

Hi – I posted this on my friend’s FB timeline. Clark Cowden is the Executive Presbyter of our San Diego (California) Presbytery, PCUSA. We are attempting to remain faithful to our Lord and our high calling, despite denominational “stuff.” Clark has been leading us in missional awareness, in conjunction with several well-known leaders (Ken Blanchard, Alan Roxburg, and others). We have a lot to teach each other – “foreign” missionaries and “missional” missionaries. Keep in touch and God Bless.

Comment on Remembering why I have this ministry by Anonymous

I needed to read this today…sometimes what I find most discouraging is meeting what I think are other peoples expectations of me-it seems I can never satisfy myself that I am “there yet” (whether or not others have actually expressed such expectations!). I appreciate once again being turned toward God-it’s not about me-and the reminder of the reason for my being in ministry in the first place is because of God’s mercy-this ministry is a gift of grace, not about my “giftedness” to perform.
