I have a friend who is spending some time this summer ministering in Cambodia. He is conducting Bible Schools, visiting prisoners, just being Jesus. Earlier a friend went to Mexico, and spent a week helping children in a desperately small village. I was getting the feeling that I was really wasting my summer. I haven’t been any place that you could call exotic. I haven’t really done anything that you could call extraordinary.
It takes some planning to do a trip to Cambodia or even Mexico. I’m not much of a planner these days. I seem to just move from day to day. That doesn’t mean I can’t grow where I’m planted or make a difference in the very non-exotic place where I live.
The summer is half way over. I really haven’t done very much. But it’s better to be a half full guy than a half empty guy. There is half a summer left and there is plenty left that needs to be done.
Be blessed.
Nick
