different people

people are different - in the church that is. well, really, all over. but today i had one of those days where i realized people are different. i had conversations with two ladies. one lady said she had visited in the past and had told a family member who attends our campus that we were not friendly. she thanked me for talking to her. as we continued to talk, i found out she was what i will call a churched person who was very involved in her church.

later in the day, i had another lady come up to me who was here from germany. she is working here and came up to me and thanked me. i wondered what the thanks were for and she answered the question in my head. she said when she came here she was lost and lonely and she found a place to connect. plus, she thanked us for helping her connect with God and Jesus. she hoped when she headed back to germany that she could find a church like ours to be a part of.

people are different. not saying one is bad and one is good. just that people are different.

interesting...
