Bummer
I stayed home the past few days to do some house cleaning and spend some concentrated time working on the computer. Today I decided to head to C4KK to see how things are going. Little did I know that 30 minutes before reaching there a planned electricity outage had...
Hmmm, what to say?
Haven't felt too "inspired" lately to write much. Kids are going along well at school. As a matter of fact they are all improving since we have tutors at home to help the kids one on one after school. The secondary boys were home this last weekend for mid-term....
Hi!
Hello 🙂 Praying for you all! Have a beautiful Sunday!
What have I learned?
Or I guess the easier question to ask is 'what do I still have to learn?" That answer is "A LOT!" I've now been living in Kenya for 2 years and some odd (sometimes literally!) months (it will be 3 years in May 2013) and these past years have been the most...
Sons
Whenever I hear/read about the wedding in Cana (John 2) I smile. Aahhh a mother’s relationship with her son! I love how Mary simply says “they have no more wine” and “do whatever he tells you”….I know I’m skimming the theology of this situation but I can see Jesus...
Congratulations!
You've done it! The C4KK Child Sponsorship Gallery is no more! Our last child was sponsored....all 29 kids now have a sponsor! Thank you Jesus! I know, a lot of exclamation points, but I'm excited! (my daughter Tarrin thinks I use too many of them anyway! heehee!)...
Education
It amazes me to see and hear the differences in attitudes towards education. A 14 year old girl (Malala) in Pakistan knows the importance of education...."Gunmen have wounded a 14-year-old rights activist who has campaigned for girls' education in the Swat Valley in...
Down wind
I am attempting to start some sort of exercising, which will most likely be walking around the compound. Any further outside the boundaries of our compound and I run the risk of being asked to visit a cousin, uncle, friend, son, daughter, whoever it may be in the...
Eye opener
I was given a swift kick in the "judgement seat" today. Ever since our kids have come to live at C4KK I couldn't get over the fact or even completely understand the guardians of these kids. It seemed they just sent the kids off with someone and didn't care what...
Sunday
Sunday's are the one day of the week we normally stay home (I should say Chuck, I usually stay home one or two days a week), we relax, sleep in, eat late and basically rejuvenate for the upcoming week. Today is no exception other than the fact we are on a planned...
