I tried but.................

I tried to post this last trip blog from Bolivia, but I had a little @ problem. You see, the @ key on the computer in our hotel in La Paz didn't work.

Since I don't know a work around for typing my password without the @ key I just sat there looking at the screen feeling kind of helpless. Sort of like many of the residents of Horno Ckasa B. Just there, kind of helpless, not really knowing how to tap into the world around them.

The @ key seems so insignificant. In fact, how much did we even think about the @ key before the internet? It was hardly ever used. But not today, any respectable websurfer wouldn't be caught dead without their @ key.

All those years the @ key just sat there, waiting for it's day to open a whole knew world of information to us.

Seems alot like God in HCB. To some He seems pretty insignificant, not of much use. The problems are much bigger than mere religion can fix.

And so...He sits, waiting for the families of the community to realize He opens a whole new world of richness to them.

Just like I can't connect to the web without that pesky @ key, none of us can connect to the real purpose we were made for without Him.

He is gentle and patient, and so He waits, prompting, drawing and calling. He has called workers to make Him known in Bolivia. MCC is part of that team of workers. It is a priviledge to partner with Him in restoring HCB and the world to relationship with Him.

He is not insignificant, and neither is the work He has called us to do. It was a blessing to see Him at work this week in Bolivia.

July just can't come soon enough!
