Prep Day & Sabbath Day & Travel Day
12th-13th-14th July 2024 Not a cloud in the sky. It’s rare to see a perfectly clear sky in Brooklyn. And even if there are no clouds in the morning they usually slide into view later on. Friday was a day without clouds, a little cool in the morning, sunny and warm in the direct sunlight.…

Coffee in Kadoma
10th July 2024 We woke up early, our last morning in Blantyre, and last morning in Malawi on this trip. After making sure we had everything packed, we sat for a little while with Dan and Carol. Patrick came in to say goodbye briefly. Dekha was thankfully still asleep. Moments later Gracious arrived. His pickup…

House on a Rock & Neighborhood on a Hill
9th July 2024 It was something Gracious had said yesterday as a few of us talked about the disparity between the number of single young men in the congregation and single young women to potentially marry.

Harare Bound on the Sabbath
August 12th, 2023 I’ve been to Sabbath services in Harare almost a handful of times now on various trips. The congregation has met in the same place for many years. There have even been baptisms in the past in the pool on the premises of the Russell Hotel. We had to be prepared to leave…

Gardens in Mutare and Fish in Harare
August 9th, 2023 I heard the roosters crow and a couple of cats fighting outside my open window. The cool morning air crept in and I opened my eyes and checked the time. It was still very early, in fact the sun wasn’t even up yet. I wanted to maximize the time we had with…

Planting Trees in Kadoma
Day 9 – 22nd January 2023 I didn’t take very many photos this morning. Just a photo or two of my roommate who I only discovered was with me a few days ago. He likes to hide behind the baseboards or under the crown molding. Sometimes behind the small rubbish bin in the corner. He’s…

To Zim
Day 3 – 16th January 2023 No matter how tired I was or how comfortable my bed for the night was, I had trouble sleeping. At one point I had said goodnight to Lena, shut off the lights, and closed my eyes. Moments later I was busy thinking, praying, and writing. I finished a blog…

Return to the Home of Comfort in Harare – Day 21
Saturday, April 30th, 2022 Early to bed, early to rise. Neither Matt nor I slept well the night before. I think the anticipation of all of the plans for the next day got to me. As I laid in bed the night before, I was trying to go over notes for the sermon I would…

Gardens and Mines in Eiffel Flats – Day 15
Sunday, April 24th, 2022 Morning came early since we had to be prepared to leave right away. Mike and Mabasa were also up early finishing a tuneup on the pickup for our trip. They weren’t sure what time they might be finished so Matt and I were packed and ready. The coffee came and went…
