What does playing hurt look like? One of ours shared about playing hurt, and how many of us in ministry play, while hurting. I know I did, and maybe someone reading this does as well.

The picture was taken of a giraffe, scarred from a tangle with some kind of cat, most likely a lion. The scars are obvious, will heal, but what you can't see is that the reason this large animal was most likely wounded; for the sake of the little one trailing behind. Makes me wonder how often it's that case for us.

How many shots do we take for the sake of others?

The tough scars are those taken for no apparent reason. I'm praying for those today who, in the midst of serving, have taken a shot that has left you wounded. Know this day that someone in Bourbonnais has thrown a prayer to the heavens for you.
