In Sync

One thing I love about my phone is that it syncs with my PC so if I lose it, or it ends up going through the wash cycle, I don't lose all my contact info. Put PC and phone together with a cable and in no time they "think" the same thing.

How awesome would it be if we had a cable like that to plug into God? Plug in, hit the "sync" button and in no time I am on His schedule, thinking His thoughts and operating in perfect harmony (100% sync) with Him.

Of course that is what a daily personal devotion time is all about - slowing down long enough to get my life and thoughts in line with Him.

But that is such a slow process - being conformed to His image bit by bit, poco a poco. How much cooler to just jam a USB (Update Spiritual Brain) cable into one ear and in 30 seconds I am ready to go.

What do you think? Thumbs up idea or Lame?

Let me know your thoughts.

Therapy International

Dear CTEN missionaries:

The missions director at the church where I serve is also a physical therapist. She has formed an organization called Therapy International with the vision of working alongside missionaries to help those needing physical therapy.

She will come to you, train you or others and equip you to help handicapped or injured people in your area. She has already done this in the Philippines, Albania, Romania and Guatemala. If you want more info, leave a comment and email address and I'll send you a pdf intro letter.

If helping the handicapped has ever been something you have an interest in, this would be an awesome way to get started.
