And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
I would love to say that is me. I would love to be burning with desire to serve God that I shout 'Send Me!' into whatever situation he needs me to serve. I think reality is I have a much more cautious approach---let me analyze the situation for a moment. Yes ok, this seems ok not too much risk or overly difficult and within my comfort zone--yes I'll do it.
Too be candid I don't see myself changing clear to Here am I. Send Me!, but maybe I can move on the spectrum closer to that end.

I think this verse is interesting. Why do they cover their feet and their faces? I guess I understand the feet....feet are disgusting. But, I don't get the faces. Maybe deflecting any attention on themselves? Giving the ultimate glory to God? hmm...
