Quirky... (Infusion 2010)

It was at Infusion during a social justice class that a question mark grew in my mind. How come Christians know so little about what is going on in the world? And how is it, that if we do know, we do so little about it?

One might call it the sin of complacency. Yes, I think it is a sin. And yes...I am guilty.

Yet, I feel hope. While I was leading the Encounter (small) group, I was asking each student what his/her dream was for their future. There were lots of good answers, all reflecting a determination to live a life of significance.

There was one young man, however, that startled me with his dream. He is kind of hard to describe. I will call him quirky. I think he might agree with that description. His dream - he is majoring in social work because he wants to go overseas and help stop human (sex) trafficking.

All of sudden, he didn't seem so quirky. He seemed unique. He seemed to be a man on a mission.

You know, I think he will do it. And I think he will be successful.

I will be keeping my eyes on him.
