A friend shared this blog today and as I read it I found myself so thankful for the eloquence of the person who wrote it and how he captured so perfectly what I would like to share with all of you. The blog entry is a few years old, but everything in it rings trueContinue reading “The New Year”

Opportunities
One of my prayers most mornings and throughout the day is “Lord, help me to see the opportunities you are providing today to pray in the name of Jesus and share your truths”. I wish I could say I am always good at slowing down, seeing and taking advantage of those opportunities but I amContinue reading “Opportunities”
Did You Know There Is a City Here??
I realized that most of my blog posts and pictures are from the rural area where I serve, but do you know that there is a city and urban area here in The Gambia? There is a huge opportunity for ministry in this urban area where the vast majority of the country resides and weContinue reading “Did You Know There Is a City Here??”
It’s Fall Y’all
The seasons do change here in The Gambia, but we only have two; Rainy Season and Not Rainy Season. Late October and November are the much needed welcome to our dry season (aka not rainy season). This means that most days the humidity is low and the sweating is much less; we have cool/crisp morningsContinue reading “It’s Fall Y’all”
Gorilla Glue
The climate and everyday life with lots of dirt and bugs is hard on “things” here in West Africa. So, you have to get creative sometimes. As many of you know, I am not very handy at fixing things so sometimes I admit I have to take short cuts. One of the best things thatContinue reading “Gorilla Glue”
Coffee
I actually cannot believe that I have yet to make a blog post about coffee, but here it is finally. Many of you know that I enjoy a good cup of coffee. It isn’t just the fabulous smell or the little caffeine jolt, but it is the whole experience of slowing down, really being presentContinue reading “Coffee”
Saturday Morning Errands
Yesterday was what is probably a typical Saturday agenda for many of you, a bunch of errands. However, running errands in The Gambia looks a lot different than my Saturday mornings in the US. The day started off with our diligent new watchman not wanting to bother me because my door was still closed soContinue reading “Saturday Morning Errands”
Jubiliant Joy
For the last few months I have been studying through Psalms and yesterday in Psalm 68 I read about the righteous being “jubilant with joy”. Wow, that word “jubilant” is certainly not one that I use very often and when I looked it up (thanks google) it is defined as “feeling or expressing great happinessContinue reading “Jubiliant Joy”
Unique Opportunities
One of the things that I really try to do is to take whatever opportunities are available to share biblical truths. I am not saying I don’t miss many opportunities that the Lord provides, but I try to be on the lookout for them. So, yesterday I met the plumber at our guesthouse for theContinue reading “Unique Opportunities”
Distance Living
As this entire world is navigating through what life in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic looks like many of you are doing life virtually. Most of us have heard of the term “distance learning” in relation to online education and this made me think of “distance living” since many of you are “living” inContinue reading “Distance Living”
