Mission Spotlight for March 15 — 4 Comments

    • Hello Robbo! Good to see you here. I suppose you would have to rely on roots and tubers, as well as imported produce in those places.

      I couldn’t survive there as I like sunshine and warmer temperatures. The only white I want to see is white sand, and maybe an occasional ice cream. 🤔😉😊 Take care!

    • I’m not sure if your comment is meant to be tongue in cheek, but in case it isn’t, being a vegan or even a vegetarian may not be necessary in the far north. It may not be realistic and that is okay. I would think true health reform is eating the best based on one’s circumstances. I believe Ellen White had some pointed words for a missionary in Norway who wasn’t doing well in health because he was just eating potatoes.

      As valuable as good health is, I don’t believe it’s an end in itself. It’s a means to make us a better vessel to be used by God. Anytime it becomes a set of rules that must be observed no matter what, I think it is becoming something that it isn’t meant to be.

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
