On the Road Again (if you really want to give them the credit of that name)

And just when I thought I’d be a better blogger again and post more often. I’m heading out for Ngong/West Pokot/Kitale and actually head to a mission conference thing today,
so it will be another week and a half before I see Nairobi.

Monday I once again get to experience Heaven on Earth when I go back to Simba Village. That time should be nothing short of amazing. Then Thursday it’s back up to the Jamba Juice of Kenya and I’ll get to maybe have that Pokotian smoothie.

Today I leave to join the evangelism team on a “Soul Winning, Healing Performing Crusade.” Hmm. How’s that for a fall break? The guy who’s always a skeptic is of corse a bit skeptical, but I’m really hoping to see some beautiful things, even if they shake up this etch-a-sketch that have all my theological beliefs. If you’re into that prayer thing, have at it. This is Africa though, and this is the third world. I think this different world may spin a little differently, and maybe many of the rules that we think hold everything together don’t exists in this different world.

The past few weeks I’ve interviewed about 50 men and women who have HIV. That experience in and of itself is about a 5 page adventure so I’ll spare you all for the time being.

Get ready for some change though. So much change has happened in me, I’m sure that a bit of it resonates off of me. This is looking evil in the eye. This is breathing in poverty and evil. These are the stories that make atheists, atheists. At the same time though these are the stories that give you no other option, no other way to live than the way of Jesus, the way that truly changes the world.

The coffee hasn’t brewed on that one though yet. If you got past the first line of the last post, the fruit for this hasn’t yet ripened in me yet.

That one requires an intense heart breaking on the spot, and I have too much of a day to live with a bleeding heart.

May you Baylor champions fall break and break well.
