Shane, every time I read your blog,...

Shane, every time I read your blog, something else hits me that we so take for granted here. If someone is illiterate here, we just keep calling on them to help them learn to read, provide audio versions of things in the interim. And there, you can't leave them anything sustaining to keep them going, nor call often enough to help everyone learn to read. I really empathize with the level of personal responsibility you all must feel! I guess we need to keep in mind the inclusion of the "unrighteous" in the resurrection and realize that their heart's response even to little tidbits of truth still can be seen by Jehovah.

Tell Vanessa that I loved her entry too. Appreciation for a small gift from above- literally :) And what a story she told of the man and firefighters dying from the septic fumes- that is so unbelievably tragic. I bet that story made your current house seem even more like a palace! I really hope to hear that the Young man responds further that there is so much more purpose to our lives than to die in such a horrible and dishonoring way.

About your height- it's great to know some jokes transcend language and culture. You bring the brotherhood together. It's pretty "big" of you to not make fun of him in return for being so short. Hee, hee.
