people are more important than things

May 5, 2007 in Uncategorized

we tried to teach our daughters that as they were growing up.

In America, it’s difficult to completely live that as a value.

We’re having company next week.  Pastor Julius from Kenya will be in town.  I’m really struggling with this.  I feel like taking every luxury we have and sending it to someone else’s house.  How do I reconcile having so much when he’s fighting to keep his tribe, the Pokot people alive?

How do I look him in the eye, knowing what he and all the people living in West Kenya are enduring, and not feel guilty about my own lifestyle?
