The religious freedoms of an ex-pat are way different than the religious freedom allowed the Chinese nationals.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder how blessed we truly are living in a country where there is a church on every corner and we can worship openly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31867611.post-18720440887001797482007-12-13T07:48:00.000-06:002007-12-13T07:48:00.000-06:00Wow!

Yesterday, I heard a humbling radio interview with Philip Yancey where he was contrasting the prayers of believers here in America verses the prayers of those in places that Vincint spoke of.

Knowing that the likelihood of this in their generation, Jill & I have done a lousy job at preparing our girls to suffer well. This will be something I will be chewing on for some time. How easily we lose sight of what is most important.
