Good

"The place where God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." -- Frederick Buechner

Today was so full of good.

I went to the General Board of Global Ministries this morning and I learned so much more about it and all the wonderful ministries the United Methodist Church has going on throughout the world. Also, I met a Bishop from the Sudan in Africa which was really awesome.

This evening I had the pleasure of being a tourist. I went with my group to central park, times square, and other little random places. While walking down 5th avenue, my heart broke. I don't want to put down Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada, Gucci, etc., but when I walk down 5th Ave. and see homeless persons sleeping on the stairs of the churches beside these stores---I guess I just figure something has to be wrong.

I listed the quote by Frederick Buechner, A Presbyterian pastor, because it has helped me somewhat see what God is calling me to do.

Today has been long as well--so I'm just going to post a few pictures of things I saw today:
