i wonder how many times Jesus thinks that of his people here on earth. if we aren't close to him, why should he tell us things? how can we possibly bear what he has to say to us if we aren't leaning on him to support us?
Jesus, help us to be so close that we can bear the things you want to tell us.
on a much lighter note, i just found this picture:
yes, it's a pay phone. in a lake in uganda. apparently it's a new solar-powered technology.
crazy, huh?
this morning at the bus stop i had a conversation with an old man who didn't know any english (except for "thank you" and "yes"). it was fun :) he was pretty excited that he knew how to say those two words in english. and then i taught him "you're welcome" in english.
i could understand almost everything he was saying, i just couldn't respond in italian very well. at least my listening comprehension is getting better, now i just have to learn how to speak it, right? it'll come with time :)
by the end of the conversation, i think the man thought we were students at the university. either that or maybe he thought that we were on a mission to travel around italy to a lot of different cities as tourists. (because i tried to tell him we were working for Youth with a Mission, but i couldn't communicate that it's an organization. hm...) anyway, i hope i have more opportunities to talk to people in that way :)
