We're not so different

Berlin is bustling.
Berlin is bursting
at the seams with diversity and with delicious pastries and with a rich and sometimes tragic history that I've hardly skimmed the surface of, yet I was glad to have seen the place. I was glad that we happened to make it on the weekend we did, as there was a massive community garage sale/outdoor flea market or something of the sort very near our hostel.

We saw a man in a bakery near the train station one evening. He was a bit shaky and obviously unaware of his surroundings. I felt the frailty of my human condition- we are not so different, he and I - and gladness at the sureness that, "though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16 Praise Jesus.

Well. What you are writing on this thing is wonderful. I am so glad for the things God is letting you see in Europe- and us through you. And I agree with Diana.
