My answer would ha...That's a great question Elaine. My answer would have to be...me too.<BR/><BR/>I think that there's a certain wall that gets built for our friends and family. We know their junk. We're able to reason and give answers to the why and how of things in their lives. We've formed opinions about them and what they should do and where they're going wrong or right. <BR/><BR/>The stranger often gives me a merciful green light. I don't know them. I don't know how they've messed up...in a sense I struggle to be judgmental with someone I don't know. Given they don't set off any jerk alarms or act stupid in my presence I can't form an opinion about them and suddenly the channel becomes clear for God to move.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm...Reverbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480677331450038605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748314251879517823.post-86185061262756931652007-12-07T16:06:00.000-05:002007-12-07T16:06:00.000-05:00So my question is...Why is it more common for me t...So my question is...Why is it more common for me to be overwhelmed with emotion for a stranger than for the people who are close to me and surround me everyday? I wish I could harness that intense desire to pray for and be merciful to strangers and put it to better use with my family and friends.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808585620233760730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748314251879517823.post-29092755444257250092007-12-07T00:44:00.000-05:002007-12-07T00:44:00.000-05:00i miss you man.i miss you man.Ryan Allen Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808926329152019186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748314251879517823.post-86325227042303081352007-12-06T22:57:00.000-05:002007-12-06T22:57:00.000-05:00That is awesome.
