At one point, they had an advertisement for their “grown-up pool party,” or something along those lines. When the ad was finished I couldn’t HELP but laugh. Here [...]

Thank you to those of you who have offered up prayers that I might find a job. Please keep them coming.
I am not someone who gets depressed that easily, but I must admit that I am feeling rather “low” these days, at least compared to my normal state. And, I am someone who is pretty [...]

My friend Elizabeth gave me a little book called Bread for the Journey by Henri Nouwen before I left for Ethiopia. It is a book of daily little inspirational readings.
