1 Peter 4:8-11

Yesterday was the first service I attended at University Community Fellowship. It was nuts! But I mean that in the best way. The choir was fantastic. The just sang their little hearts out. There was dancing, and drama and preaching. And it was all able to fit in because the service was about 3 hours long. A lady who is on her vision trip with WorldVenture, Ann, went with us to church and was able to get a lot of pictures and even videos, so I am working on getting those to put up. If I ever can figure out how to put that kind of stuff up. 
Anyway, the real reason I wanted to post this morning was to that I wanted to share this verse that I read, that really is a great summation of the meditation of my heart and vision while I am here in Uganda:

1 Peter 4:8-11 
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Amen and Amen.

Big day of shopping today. Gotta go into the market and get some skirts, and then around 2:00pm (I say around because Ugandans have no real concept of time), a girl from the church named Diana is coming over and I think we are going to go get some dinner. She always calls me "baby" and I haven't quite figured that out yet. Maybe I'll ask her today. 

Love and Peace to you all.
