What I realized hit me hard and goes into his observations of Americans. What hit me? That we take things for granted as Americans. We all know that. But that we take our religion for granted as Americans! What a horrible thing to take for granted! As he spoke of people falling to their knees in Africa on dirt roads as they listen to him speak of Jesus, my heart sunk. We are too often \'shy\' and won\'t fall to our knees at our church home or even in our own home. We can all learn a lot from Friday and I did. My prayer is now that I will remember it and slow down! Thank, Mike, for sharing such a special friend with us all. I wanted to comment more on the time I spent listening to Friday speak at church on Sunday.

Do you try to take time to not be on a schedule? I am an associate pastor in Central Arkansas and I am from WA state. I have lived in NY, CA, WA, OR and OK before I got here. Things move at a slower pace in AR than in other parts of the country...but scheduling is still important to most people most of the time. So do these observations change the way you are going to approach life, your job, your family...etc? Here is my question:
