b} In our society today, the world wants to hold high athletes, or movie stars, or even business entrepreneurs...but "it DOES matter" who we esteem highly.  Not that we put people on a pedestal or on the same level as God, no, but rather God encourages us to give honor to those men and women who are faithfully serving Him with their lives as they serve others.  In this special episode we are delighted to interview our very own Paula from here on the podcast.  Your heart will be blessed as you hear about how she handled separation from family, second language flubbers, adventurous fun, and enduring faith in God as a missionary.  "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him." {1 Chronicles 16:9a}
