My husband is a Native American here in the Southwest (he is a Christian) and it is always interesting to me how the people I have met in his culture blend their old traditions with Christianity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36746999.post-32293272065427825322007-03-30T23:41:00.000-03:002007-03-30T23:41:00.000-03:00First off, let me say I read this post when you po...First off, let me say I read this post when you posted it last night and I couldn't even comment...it moved me that much. I had to let it soak in and re-read it tonight. Thank you and your family for serving the Lord in this way...for being willing. I know for me, just reading your blog over the past few weeks, has really opened my eyes and for that I am *very* thankful.

If we'd just stop and consider for a minute - or more - where they're coming from, we might be able to minister to folks a wee bit better.<BR/><BR/>Rita, thank you SO much for this entry! It challenged my heart and opened my eyes, as well as encouraged me. I recently read the biography of Jim Elliot, and I remarked to Wes that we don't hear of that kind of dedication and commitment in our times . . . <B>until now</B>. I wish all missionaries would write or speak of their experiences in depth, so that we could see not only what they're facing on their fields, but so that our children could see that God still uses people who are willing to be used - to spend and be spent, in the words of Paul. Thank you for the glimpses you give us of your work; they're priceless!<BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear how things change for the people after they are saved. For example, the drinking of the bones. How does salvation and knowing the truth about life after death change their view of their loved ones' deaths, and how does that change the way they are treated in their village?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733406219995902188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36746999.post-50922755578809708932007-03-30T10:17:00.000-03:002007-03-30T10:17:00.000-03:00Penless: You are so right, It is all about becomin...Penless: You are so right, It is all about becoming a servant to the ones we are trying to reach.Rita Locahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961929692808138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36746999.post-12107984363007854662007-03-30T09:19:00.000-03:002007-03-30T09:19:00.000-03:00Wonderful sharing once again.

I think a wee bit of what you've written about with the tribes could also be applied to life here in the U.S. We don't all view life from the same perspective and we just have a tendency to shut our eyes rather than try to understand and learn the reasons behind actions.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36746999.post-41289734853203818002007-03-30T02:56:00.000-03:002007-03-30T02:56:00.000-03:00I know you all are great missionaries and you have...I know you all are great missionaries and you have all my respect.
