Rainy season is finally starting to slow down and as much as I am very tired of the daily rains and have been praying for them to stop I conveniently forgot how hot, humid and sticky it is when it does not rain! We have now gone 3 days with no rain and one nightContinue reading “Sticky”

Many hats and hands
Being in ministry you quickly learn that there is no job description and you wear many different hats. I clearly remember being told during my surgical rotation in PA school that part of being a Physician Assistant is getting some extra arms and learning how to use those in all sorts of creative ways, theyContinue reading “Many hats and hands”
Here we go again, the wimpy tubaab is at it again
Some of you asked for a video of me wrestling the bed cover. I really was hoping I would not need to change it anytime soon, but God had other plans so here you go (I made it double speed for you)! Just when I think my life might be hard I am reminded yetContinue reading “Here we go again, the wimpy tubaab is at it again”

One of my favorite things since moving to The Gambia is to get up early and go sit in my backyard rocking chair underContinue reading “Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!”
Sunshine
I am back online after a few weeks of a wonderful vacation in the urban area of The Gambia. My time of vacation was exactly what I needed and was filled with lots of sleep, time with the Lord, relaxing reading, ocean breezes and sunshine (even though it is rainy season, there was little rain).Continue reading “Sunshine”
Praise Him in the storms
It is rainy season; yes we only have two seasons here rainy and dry! The rains started early about three weeks ago and they literally started with a bang of accompanying thunder and lightning. And, almost every day for the last three weeks another storm has rolled in. This morning as I was reading inContinue reading “Praise Him in the storms”
