Today is election day which means only one thing to me: NO MORE PEOPLE CAMPAIGNING! What is most fascinating to me is how little the leaders focus on platform. They just want to make a lot of noise and get their face on everything that a paper can stick to. Here is an example of … [Read more…]
Huh? What’s that all about eh? This morning a plane flew over Tactic and unloaded a kazillion leaflets over the town. It’s campaign time (has been for months). These leaflets do not contain any information aside from the names of the presidential candidate one of the local reps and the name and symbol of their … [Read more…]

Yesterday while I was taking photos of the construction site of a new school and medical clinic, my cell phone slipped off my belt. I discovered two hours later after taking Blaise to … [Read more…]
So, I’ve been inspired by Petra and Adam and 8 other bloggers to make a list of five things that I want to do next – not necessarily big things, just a list to get me moving. And with it a new blog (when I have 10 blogs on the go, please take my computer … [Read more…]
I finished a book today: Adventures in Missing the Point: How the Culture Controlled Church Neutered the Gospel by Tony Campolo and Brian D. McLaren.
