Bad weather...is bad.

I dislike the fact that many Christians think that missionary work or work in the church is be all and end all.

Now, let me explain.

I believe that helping the poor and needy is something that Christians...hell, anybody...needs to do. We are called by God to do this. In the words of Tim Hughes, "Live to feed the hungry...stand beside the broken...". We absolutely must do everything in our power to try to end poverty and give others a fighting chance at life. And not just in the third world. Everywhere.

But what I hate, what I absolutely cannot stand, is when a Christian thinks they have a higher calling or is better than another Christian just because they are called into THAT particular ministry. Who the hell are they to determine what God wants others to do? And who are they to judge the work they do? I think the modern church puts such an emphasis on work INSIDE the church, when they forget about the work in the communities that needs to be done. So many people have asked me why I'm studying journalism, when it's probably one of the hardest professions for a Christian to be in. "Um, gee, do ya maybe think that's why I'm there?".

In the end, who cares what other people think, as long as you're doing what God wants you to do. And I'm confident this is where I'm supposed to be.

By the way, this hasn't happened to me personally, I'm just saying.
