This ought to make us ask ourselves why we aren't focused at home.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-15532223047818141312010-07-31T15:00:11.821-04:002010-07-31T15:00:11.821-04:00Jeff,

The work may take longer there."<br /><br />Having grown up in the North, It has been my experience that there is clarity in places where the gospel is not as culturally acceptable. Although we can't judge the heart, the clues are easier to follow in places like that.<br /><br />Good to have you back; Have a great day,<br /><br />JeffJeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104333304917116520noreply@blogger.com
