Instructions for Coping With Boredom

I kinda hope that it does rain tomorrow (Sunday, Apr 20th). There's supposed to be a car wash at NCC after the service, but I would honestly much rather go and have church with my fellow brothers and sisters at SSM... I miss them. As I saw one of those pop can poppers today as I was cleaning, and I thought about one of our bro's who collects them (I should probably go back there and pick it up so I can give it to him)

Anyway, not much else is new, Jessica and I are graduating soon, which means we're off to Korea soon, but not soon enough it seems. I'm definately going to miss a lot of people here, including some special people at SSM. But, the best is to be made with the time we have left. Amen????!!!!!! (emphasis added)

Evangelism 102

In 1980 a young man from Rwanda was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face certain death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. The night before he had written the following commitment which was found in his room:

“I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made- I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed vision, worldly talking, cheap giving & dwarfed goals.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me & when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.”

I wonder what us North Americans (who have suffered no persecution) would do if we were held by gunpoint, them demanding our renuncitation of Christ. Would we be bold enough to get shot and martyred for His sake? Your comments are welcome...
