What do you think of when you hear ... well being? I love to help people.

With that, I get to help our group with ... you guess it, well being.

Webster's defines well being as "the state of being happy, healthy, or prosperous". I have to agree with the first two but I have to disagree with the third one.

Here is why - Have you ever been to a third world country? I have. We in America, are some of the richest if not the richest people in the world. We are also some of the unhappiest people in the world. We have alot of people on anti-depression meds. We have alot of people on drugs. We also have alot of alcoholics in our midst. Why is this so if we are the most "prosperous" people in the world?

Back to well being. I am excited to help our small group with their well being. If you are in our group going to Haiti this year, I commit to making sure you are as comfortable as you can be in a third world country. Believe me, some days you might think I am not doing a very good job because its hot and you are sweating or you are not feeling well. Know that you are being cared for by a group who loves God and is serving Him right next to you. Sometimes it is not easy, but it was not easy when Jesus walked on the earth either.

Keep you head held high, pray continually, drink lots of water, love on the kids (you will have an impossible time not loving those kids) and God will bless your socks off!
