What connects mission work in Swaziland, a Christian singer/songwriter, and a get-away on the prairie?  One word:

Service.

"Do you have the gift of [service to] others?  Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. 
Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Christ Jesus. 
All glory and power to Him forever and ever!  Amen."
1 Peter 4:11b NLT
