Saturday, I went to a gathering here in town - okay, it was Cinqo de Mayo - lots of yummy Mexican style food, decorations, 200 people I had no clue whom most of them were and I was the only one in a Hawaiian shirt! LOL!
There was a special speaker, one of my students (for seven years of Sunday Schools!) from decades ago! A slight shudder ran through me - him opening his mouth means it could go one of many different ways ...
Think: the memory of a battle that forced the French out of Mexico, memorials, celebrating other's successes, etc ...
His choice was to walk through Ephesians 5!
Yeah, nothing like smacking a group of modern females with the whole "subjected to" series of argument! And oh yes I was getting comments from many ... But, he did manage to talk through what Paul's message really was - not the poor under4standing some choose to take today.
I was proud of him but could not find him on Face Book", so I emailed his father to pass on my congratulations. Not that he will care ... But building him up for his courage needed to be done by someone ... and in this culture I bet I was the only one ...
