"Cause tonight...we can be as one...Tonight..."

U2, Sunday Bloody Sunday

What does it mean to serve globally? Why do we serve globally? Why does it all matter? To be honest I love missions, I love traveling to new places, new people, new perspectives, experiences and climates. I think everyone should travel outside our borders, but I many times I struggle to get my head wrapped around why global focus is important. Why does it matter so much?

It's clearly kind of a big deal, but why can't I figure this out?

Well as fate would have it, if you need answers to this kind of question, skip church and go to a U2 concert.

This past Wednesday I went to a U2 concert at the Reliant Stadium, skipping all the gushing of how great a concert it was, I'll share a moment that relates to what I'm rambling about. Somehow while the band rocked 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and projected images from the Iran elections and washed the stage in green lights, it hit me. 

That we can be as one. 

We're connected.

We're one species, like it or not. 

So it matters, well because Jesus died so we can be one. One together one with the Father. If we can't be together that the One is incomplete. Restoring and Reclaiming a world back to him, so we can be as one. 

I never claimed to be the sharpest, but in moments like that I can feel a peace of being a part of a One. A part of something bigger than little ol' me.
