I’m home.
After about 17 hours of flying, I took the shuttle bus from JFK to Newark, waited at Newark for 4 hours, then took a 3 and a half hour bus trip to Quakertown, and then walked from 4th and Broad to my home carrying 3 suitcases.

I didn’t realize I had written so little this week.
I guess that just shows how busy I’ve been. Besides preaching a couple of times, teaching a men’s small group, a Bible study, and a young adults meeting I’ve been working on my doctoral project and meeting with various people about that and about the future [...]

I preached on faith this past Sunday…”believing/trusting God’s promises to do us good through Jesus Christ.”
Then I had a hard time living it.

I’m thankful. My schedule so far is pretty packed.
I was able to go visit an orphanage today called “The Purple House.” It’s actually not called that, it has an African name, but I call it the Purple House because I can’t say the other.
Wow.
The needs are tremendous. It’s one small (by American standards) house packed with [...]

I’m here.
I said goodbye to my wife and girls on Monday morning at the airport. Actually, I should probably said I cried goodbye. Cried like a little girl. It was alot easier buying the ticket than actually getting on the plane. Three weeks away seems like forever.
It’s good though to be in South Africa, to [...]
