Beauty everywhere
Honestly I do have another blog post ready to post but it's a downer and I just can't deal with that right now.....so here's some beauty from my world. My friend, Okemi, got a haircut and as usual he's looking quite handsome! And his beautiful wife Ruby also received...
Just sights
Last week Chuck and I went to Nairobi for a few days and I decided to take a few (ok, more than a few) pictures of just some stuff we normally see going to, in and coming from Nairobi (plus a few of just around here). I usually don't think of taking these types of...
All in a day’s love
Some of you may know that I like (I mean really like) bullet lists! Keeps my aging mind in order I guess. Today here's my bullet list of what occurred in a single day through C4KK Benevolence: a mom, who had been held at the hospital for 2 weeks because she couldn't...
Words
Well, I'm going to make an honest statement here....I like the idea of being a writer but admit I'm not very good at it. I also admit to admiring Tarrin's (my daughter) ability to express her thoughts in writing, keep going girl! Anyway why tell you this? Some of...
Traffic jam
Heading into Nairobi and we run into a traffic jam! That's all I have to say about that....have a great day!

Letter writing day
Today Peter (C4KK social worker/children's home manager) is having the kids write their sponsors. The upper primary were at school, but they'll write their letters when they get home. It's funny to watch the kids as they write because they take it so seriously....
Keepin’ it simple
Today I'd simply like to ask for your prayers. We've been talking with other missionaries and volunteers and it seems many are feeling a bit down. Stress levels are high, trials are beating at the door, and life's joy has darkened. I know this is a season, our God...
Love each other
John 15:17 This is my command: Love each other. Sounds simple doesn't it? Yet it may be one of the toughest things I try to do (there's my first offense....I try). I know I can only love others as much as I accept the love of my Savior and allow His love to flow...
