This morning, Mama V, Cassie and I attended the Watoto Church here in Gulu. It’s about a half mile walk or so, but not too bad in the morning. The church is all English speaking and had about an hour of worship (singing all songs that we sing at NTC), followed by about an hour of preaching. All in all it was a good service. A guest came and sang “God of this City”, and it was really powerful. Just make you think twice about saying something, like “well were just a small town in northern, NY”, because even our poorest live better than most here. If they can give all they have for what they believe and can help to change lives in their city, their country, and really their world, then what excuse do we have. Northern New York may have been hit by a recession, but we still have massive amounts of resources, with gifted people being one in abundance. Today, and this week, try to make a difference, in your home, your community, and essentially in your world. Let’s all write a better story.
Love and miss you all,
Joe
