"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~without~

On Sunday night I was driving around with my dear friends precious daughter. She asked me why Papa was praying with me and "that other girl" after Church in the Park. I told her about my trip to Guatemala. Her response? Initially, I sensed a bit of panic. "How long will you be gone for?" When I told her it was just for a week, I got the best reply ever:

"Auntie Christa, I can't live without you for a week."

I cried.
