Becoming all things to all men

1 Corinthians 9:19-27

"For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak.  I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.  Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.  Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one recieves the prize?  Run in such a way that you may obtain it.  And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things.  Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.  Therefore I run thus: not as one who beats the air.  But I disipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified."

So the past week has been filled with pasta making evenings, loads of soccer, leadership training, meeting people from all over the world, mountain biking, getting up-close-and-personal with zebras, giraffes, blue wildesbeests, red hartebeests, impalas, blesbucks, duikers, and kudus, getting stung by red wasps, and spending lots of time with Jesus. I need to learn to be better at carrying my camera around, but here are a few photos from the past week.
