Smoking, Fires, Tears, and Medicare (Part 4)

This is going to be my last blog of the night. And I have to do this quick cause Fringe, my new favorite show is on and I want to spend some time with my wife. 

I feel like sometimes we get so caught up in our own worlds that we miss out on the stories of people around us. I have wondered how Jesus handled hanging out with people who were different from Him. And I am far from being anything like Jesus around beggars and hookers and drug addicts. But I believe that in understanding people we have a better ability to understand ourselves and our calling. In understanding people I think we have a better ability of understanding how we are supposed to apply the Word of God to our own lives. 

And I think that one of our biggest problems is how can we truly be in the world but not of it. How can we shine the light of Christ with out becoming dull and without burning the eyes of those different from us? Maybe its too late for me to get these thoughts out right.
