Ok so our theme this year is Ordinary Radical...not an original name, I can't claim it, it came from a book I read this year. Several people have asked me, so what's ordinary radical mean??
There is a quote on this blog, "we can do no great things, just small things with great love." I really like that idea..because we often think that what we do has to be BIG, it needs to STAND OUT. But the reality is with every small act of love we ARE changing the world. With the spirit of God that begins in our hearts, it extends through our hands to a broken and hurting world. It is in little acts of love that the spirit in us will take over the world! It is understanding that we will not win the masses to Christianity until we live it....If you think about it..it is a radical thought to put others first, but it is not a summer mission thought...it is a thought for our lives!
It is about taking ordinary (not normal, because living for other's is not normal) acts to show the radical love of God!

Hi Melissa, I thought you would have emailed; that's ok. Did you get my text? I could not figure how to separate the words so it was all together! Logan really misses you; Morgan is easier to pacify. I rather miss you, too, but can keep busy. I think I fixed the fence so M can't get out-yet! Church had a Honduras send off; thought Larry was gonna forget you again; they did forget to send off Africa team; really hurt Glenda's feelings which I can understand. Time been changed to 6-3 at 4:30 so maybe that morning; little late! Hope all is well; kids are so cute. Enjoy your time & work hard; others anxious to arrive Love,Mom Morg says "Meow"
Can't wait to be there! See you Saturday! :)
