I felt a bit silly writing the check.  My dear friend Terri Clark is headed to India later this month on a missions trip.  Now please don’t misunderstand.  It’s a wonderful cause, definitely worthy of support.

What felt silly was the fact that our two families keep passing this same $100 back and forth like a ping pong ball.

It started a couple of years ago when their son Nate served with Youth With a Mission in Australia.  We were more than happy to help.  Then our daughter Emily applied for a Cru Summer Project in Boston.  The $100 returned to help send her on her way.

Now it’s Terri’s turn.

Isn’t this the way it’s supposed to work?  The money doesn’t belong to any of us.  It’s all God’s, and it’s to be available whenever someone needs it.

“At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need.”  (2 Corinthians 8:14a, NIV)

So, back to you Clarks.  The ball’s in your court.  Let’s keep the volley going.

Who will be next? 🙂
