Give Me a Break

“Strengthened with all might according to God’s glorious power, for all patience with joy.” American Society is about “me”– my rights, my success, my time, my fun. African Society is about “we”– our togetherness, our wishes, our success, our time.

I am learning to adjust from an American mindset to an African way of thinking, but I daily need to be strengthened with ALL God’s power so that I can have ALL patience with JOY! Sometimes, though, I just need a break! Here is a photo of me just after having taken ‘a break’ at the Gardens Restaurant on Robertsfield Highway.

Mourn with Them that Mourn

Heartsick wails fill the air; she can not be comforted. Her husband has passed on into eternity. One day later I share her pain as I wrap my arms in love around her. Queeta my neighbor is left a widow, with two daughter and a son. That was one year ago….Today I share with her a Love far greater than mine, that of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
