Listen to: A Rush Of Blood To The Head - ColdplayI officially like In N Out burgers. After I took my second bite I said, "this is the best burger I have ever had." And, we all know I'm not one to make rash statements (yeah right.)
We're in Redding, CA on our way to Yosemite National Park tomorrow. We'll spend two nights in Yosemite before heading to Las Vegas, I believe.
(Note: I love my iPod... It has gone everywhere with me. Pridian (my compy) and Lindy (my Shuffle) play well together.)
I talked to a man in the hot tub tonight. I was asking where he was from (conversation starters) and he asked the same (as expected.) Then we got to talking about school and work. He told me where he works and is going (back) to school and then he asked me what I was doing (school-wise) and what I planned on doing after school. I told him about finishing up Clackamas (he's from the Seattle area and travels through Portland a lot, so he knows the area) and then going to Moody, then how I was planning to go into overseas missions. He then proceeded to tell me about people he knew who were in missions in Africa. They have since retired but now have a lot of stories that they have told him (he was amazed at his friends.) He then said that though they are retired they still are involved in prison ministry here in the states. Then, something that stuck out that he said:
"It takes a special kind of person to do that kind of thing... You have to be very unselfish. It's about getting a different kind of reward."
I believe he was speaking of the reward of "feeling good" about your self. But, I guess he could have been talking about eternal treasure... I just doubt it. Regardless, that stuck out to me. I only regret that I didn't take this perfect opportunity to ask more questions and get him thinking a bit more.
