Worldview Wednesday; vol. #1

If you have been reading my posts for the last three days, then you know that I have had to come up with a creative way to keep me writing consistently.  Monday will be "The Chronicles of Snobbery," Tuesdays will be "Tuesday's Tomes," and today (Wednesday) was intended to be "Worldview Wednesday."  If you know me even just a bit, you know that one of my passions is teaching a biblical world and life view.  I may not be able to give you directions worth beans, but I could at least carry on a somewhat descent conversation about the philosophical understandings of the basic building blocks of theology, history, literature, and in particular the Bible.  I do intend to write about those topics in my blog, but I have to make it interesting.  I have already been known to "kill" a book club or two, end a conversation dead in it's tracks, or derail a perfectly wonderful conversation about hair and nails.  

This week has not been a normal week to say the least.  So, if you will indulge me, I would like to write about how my worldview has grown significantly larger.  The worldview that I speak of is a view from a vantage point a long way away, many thousands of miles in fact.  We have been given the invitation to minister, not from the US, but from the Philippines. Now that is a different view of the world.   The last two summers I have had the wonderful privilege to go to Manila, and have fallen in love with the country and it's people.  They are loving, giving, family oriented people that I learned a great deal from the times that I have gone to visit.  We, at this point, feel led to at least start the process while we explore other possibilities stateside. There are many questions looming on the horizon to be answered, explored, and mulled over. We are asking God for a calling, not a job, or a position.  Now that's a worldview of another color!
