Joyful Transformation

1. There are no strangers in the body of Christ
2. A storm is no respecter of persons (or incomes)
3. JD and family are truly warm, gracious and very welcoming.
4. No one understands my traveling alone to a place where I had never met anyone (I tried explaining that I KNEW the people..)
5. People are generous by nature
6. People everywhere donate clothing and shoes that should be thrown away!
7. Fresh water is a precious commodity
8. The church is much more attractive when it is out of the building, where it belongs.
9. No matter where you are women are territorial about “their” kitchens
10. 83 year old women have earned the right to be dogmatic (and most I have ever met are!)
11. You can get by without 95% of your “stuff”.
12. Some friendships can be formed “instantly” (I hope I get to see Julie again someday)
13. I really like organization but I do not like “red-tape”.
14. I do not like being out of control (big surprise there, huh?)
15. Hugs are sometimes the best thing you can give.
16. It is easy to lose focus of the “big” picture when doing specific jobs
17. People are unusually wary of anyone who offers them something for “free”.
18. Men can be more compassionate and more long winded than women
19. “Lazy Dog” is a very apropos expression (they lay in the sun ALL DAY)
20. One genuine “thank you” is both humbling and rewarding
