Class 8 Prayer Day
When they say Prayer Day they really mean Prayer All-Day-Long. I have nothing against prayer....but that's not exactly what went down! Anyway, yesterday (Wednesday) was Prayer Day for the Class 8 candidates. Kevin and Doris will be sitting for their exams next...
Planting banana trees
Spent a recent afternoon planting banana trees and thought you might enjoy seeing the process. First, while helping plant trees this is what happens when a) I don't wear sunglasses (squinting) and b) no sunscreen (yikes, I'm really red) But all kidding aside....Chuck...
Excitement
Last Thursday the kids were so excited....we were going to Skype with a class in the US. But as they say, this is Kenya. Two minutes before we were to start the electricity went out. We got the generator set up so I wouldn't run out of computer battery but then the...
Service
What does it mean to feed the hungry, visit the prisoner, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked? I think we can all agree on what it means literally but how then is it worked out? I understand God to work in various and mysterious ways and He asks each of us...

Moo-ving along!
Ok, so I don't get any points for using an old, yet often used, pun....but the animal shelter is moo-ving along just fine, thank you! Looks to be soon we'll moo-ve (sorry can't help myself!) Fudge and Splash back home and hopefully at least one of them will be...
Water or electricity?
With our lack of water at home (not C4KK) we've been discussing "which would you rather be without, water or electricity?" Now don't get me wrong, I'd rather have both of course, but I don't have that choice. The guy who pumps water to a tank on the compound is...
Can you believe it?
Here's a situation that honestly I can't believe but must since it is currently happening. Like most schools, a boys secondary school (where a couple of boys attend who do not live at C4KK) did not start Term 3 on time because of the teacher's strike. The boys...
Feelings of….
Lately I've been feeling inadequate, unworthy, unable and that in turn makes me feel a bit panicked. Not that I expect to be perfect (I've certainly know that for, what? Forever!) but I hope and pray to be more Christ-like. Those days when I fall far short I have...
