what, after all, are we living for?

We're all set and ready to leave... a few worries with passports and packing, but it will all come together. One week in Monterrey, working with the church and meeting students on the Tec campus. Sometimes I have to ask: are we worth the effort? The cost is just over $1000 per person... which is substancial financial support. A guy I was talking to today made a crack about going to dig $30 wells in Africa, but spending $600 on a plane ticket. In fact, sometimes the things we do as Christians does seem like folly...unless...there's a point.

If Christ is not resurrected, are we to be pitied above all men? Is he the only thing that prevents our living from being in vain? Far too often I find myslf living life like anyone else with just a few extra activities and rules. I want to be called to something more; to a life that doesn't make sense without Christ. I want to look foolish to those who don't understand...to make them ask questions.

I'm proud of our team because we're going. It's a first time for many and I hope it is a taste of reality that gets us hooked.
