this thought was an offshoot of the previous entry, but i thought i should try to observe some blogging etiquette.
during this debrief i’ve gotten a slightly bigger glimpse
of the father’s heart that gary black has for our squad. it’s really
quite amazing for a man with a family of his own to adopt 50+
twentysomethings who were once strangers as his spiritual sons and
daughters. and like a parent does, he wants good things for his kids
more than they want it for themselves, whether they like or not.
how
can i not respect and trust a man who would get on a plane going
half-way across the world to love on and father (sometimes bratty)
children who don’t share his dna? “i will fight to mess you up,” he
said to us. only people who love you the most are willing to go to
such lengths, even if you’re the one fighting against it, for your good.

– proverbs 27:6
this week though, the teachings have been so sweet. truly, the
Word has proven to be sweeter than honey from the comb, as it says in
proverbs. but yah. sometimes what gary’s got to say stings…though
the truth hurts, it brings freedom. so, thank You, God for gary and lisa. and thank You, God, for sending mike and patti to us this week.
