So You Want To Change The World...

"So you want to change the world, what are you waiting for..."

Yeah.

But how do you start?

I work at a copy shop. I spend some nights doing things like copying LDS Sunday School literature. Or covering Jehovah's Witness Literature (They are starting a book in the local congregation so I've been coil binding several lately)... Or copying and folding local Church of Christ Bulletins. (That one wasn't as bad. Maybe felt more familiar to me somehow as my grandparents are all Christian church)

This town is so dark spiritually. I try to pray over each piece of literature that I deal with. Problem is, I can't get used to it. I don't think I will get used to it. Though that's probably not a problem.

I asked Pastor Rice on Monday if this town ever stopped breaking your heart. He replied that it was possible to become jaded to it but he hadn't. And when I asked about getting used to the temple he said you didn't.

I listened to a missionary here on Sunday. Then there was an off comment about sending a child to India when she grew up to do work. My parents may have thought they'd be sending me to Japan or to Australia.

Did they think of another mission field only 1600 miles away where I would be? Probably not, but I don't know.

All I know is I want to change this world, but I don't know how. I guess I just keep praying.
