THIS IS INDIA.  THIS IS WHERE YOU CALL WHEN YOU HAVE A TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH YOUR COMPUTER. 

My friend, Mike Constantz, Pastor of Missions at Saddleback, sent me these pictures, and I couldn't help but smile.

I've always been shocked by the "extremes" in India.  India is a place where past and present, ancient and future collide head on. 

On the same street, you see the robe-clad man whose donkey is pulling his beat-up old wooden cart and a wealthy, business man in a snappy suit driving his brand, new, shiny BMW.  Then you notice, the guy with the donkey is talking on his cell phone!

Along the road, you notice goat herders, who live as goat herders have for thousands of years.  They live with their goats under the sun by day.  At night, they make a campfire to sit by and sleep under the stars. Yet, on that same stretch of road are four Internet cafes.

I love it!  If you haven't stopped by Raj's blog recently, you've got to check the updates on our work there:

• Water Project in Kalavai
• A Cry of a Bonded Laborer
• Help a Poor Family Start a Business
• Church Planters are Trained at Salem

Up there is breaking through down here!

After church tonight, I came home and checked if www.jasonmiller.com was really in existence. It is, but it's the wrong Jason Miller. Bummer. I was hoping he had a blog.

Looks like the mess of cable I have running under my desk :)

Hey Rob, I am sooo glad I don't have to work on those powerlines in India. And here I think the power distribution at the Blue Chip in Michigan City needs boosted.
