In every relationship, we have the opportunity to be transformed—for better or worse. Obviously, our relationship with God transforms us, but the relationships we have with our sisters in Christ also transform us. And the best combination of these transformations?

Twenty years ago today, I boarded my first international flight and headed to Venezuela. I still have the boarding pass, departing Miami, on Viasa, an airline that is no longer in existence.
There are many Venezuelan things that are no longer in existence... The Venezuelan coffee and whole powdered milk I came to love in my first visit are no longer available. Arepas (a finely ground cornmeal patty and staple in the Venezuelan diet) are rarely seen at any meal because the product, originally produced in Venezuela, and later imported from Colombia, can no longer be found. The scarcity of basic foods and supplies in the markets is a testimony to the overall decline of the country’s economic conditions.
