On the Bus: I saw this old lady and thought what does her life mean? Does she have fullness of life, feel satisfied, found her purpose? Is her purpose just to be content in the life she has of living, cooking, cleaning, traveling to nearby villages and may be never leaving far outside her area? Is finding your purpose or higher calling only for the privileged, wealthy, those who don’t have to worry about taking up so much time of their day just to live and exist? How does God improve the life of this woman in her simplicity of life? What is God’s purpose for her? Does every purpose have to be “great?” Does she even think about that kind of stuff? And who am I, what have I done that I was born in the US and as I am?
At Copan Ruins: How did the Mayans think sacrifice would appease the gods? Will God judge them based on that, on never hearing the Gospel before the conquistadors came with their Catholicism? Is it based on their hearts and motives? What if they didn’t know about God because of pure ignorance?
What to Do for Next Year
1. Stay here and teach again: depends how many others stay
2. Go home and find another job: how while I’m down here would I do that? Go home first and then find one?
3. Go and teach somewhere else in the world: Another Latin American country? Asia: South Korea, China, Japan?
4. World Race, International Teams, something else in another part of the world
5. Masters: not next year because of GRE, but possibility soon?
If you want to offer any comments, answers, prayers to the above questions, I welcome them. Thanks for pondering with me.
