Funny Contrasts It just hit me the other day when we had the interns from the "House of Prayer" over for brunch what a HUGE contrast it is ministering to them as compared to the youth in Tahiti! We love all of these young people, but - oh - what a pleasure it is to hang out with the interns! They are young but so sold out to God and already amazingly mature in spirit and just fun - and even inspiring - people. The precious Tahitian youth were the opposite - it just makes me want to cry when I remember them. Such broken lives with so many insecurities and hurts and often unable to receive love. We would have crisis quite regularly - rescuing some from suicide or breaking up terrible fist fights between them, having rocks thrown on our ministry building while having a meeting because we didn't invite all of them for dinner to our house (only the ones that had helped clean the "Refuge" in preparation for a DTS team) etc. A couple of times, I almost got beaten up ... but thank God it never came to that. And the stories just go on... May you shower them with your love, Lord, and restore their lives!!! As for us, this is soooooooooo much easier. Thank you, Lord, for the break you are giving us! We better enjoy it while it lasts! Who knows what assignments are around the corner :)?!! Speaking of assignment, I better get going with my housework. I've got to get the house ready. Flynn is coming again tomorrow while his Mom is having her surgery. We don't know for how many days he will be with us, I just know that I don't get much housework done when he is here :).
