自古, 軍以民為貴, 民以食為天.
The five of us did not challenge this saying at all. As we headed up to San Francisco Thursday evening, we decided to grab a “quick dinner” before going to class. Needless to say, we were late. Friday wasn’t any better. Our thirst for a cup of java and my horrible directions made us 30 minutes late. Friday night, we had some salivating Macau food – but were once again late for class. How embarrassing. Not only were we late, we infested our friends from English Congregation and made them late also. If the previous group were famous for falling asleep, this time we must be famous for being late. So much for integrity…
What was so cool about this class? Well, let’s just say I know of some parents who look forward to nothing more than for their sons or daughters to call home – especially those who have gone off to college overseas. Parents love to talk to their children. In the same way, God loves to talk to us. He’s talking to each and everyone of us all the time...but do we have the right equipment set up to listen? Are we in tuned with His frequency? Do we have the necessary character-istics to actually hear God? That’s what we learned this weekend... two and a half days of drinking from a fire hydrant and we come away, not with a silver bullet but with the blue prints on designing this silver bullet. Course 101 is what it says it is...it’s just the first of many courses.
Then there was the impartation. Oh so mysterious and wonderful...
A rather interesting fact:
In many of our group exercises, the gender ratios were about 4 women to 1 man. Where did all the father’s go? If all the women there can bring her husband, boyfriend, brother, son…the population would double or even triple!!
