Conversation with Chris Pervis at Common Grounds

Chris says she and Jack always liked the UCC organizations overseas. You make friends. If your friend is interested in your other friend Jesus, you introduce them. Then you stay the heck out of the way.

She regrets thinking that problems have to be solved. Some problems have to be lived with, she says.

Too may times she was the person who got stuff done, who solved the problems, but sometimes she didn't care who she ran over in the process.

She wonders who she hurt in the quest to solve.

Don't push people. Don't stomp on people to solve problems. What other people do to solve their own problems need be none of your concern.

Chris highly recommends the book Go to Africa, Save Your Marriage.
