Back to the real world

September 14, 2014

I’m just back from a weekend upcountry for a student’s introduction and wedding (upcountry being anything outside Kampala and it’s suburbs, like upstate New York is anything outside NYC).

It was a wonderful weekend of celebrations, visiting with my friend Cindy Larsen, and seeing students who also came, and I will be posting pictures tomorrow.  

First, I’d like to pass on some prayer requests.  I don’t know whether you saw that the Ugandan authorities broke up an al-Shabaab cell this weekend; please join me in giving thanks for this breakthrough, and continue to pray for those who are working hard to fight terrorism, wherever they are.

Second, I know that I live in an idyllic nature bubble, and that dead animals happen.  However, Thursday, when I left, there was a dead frog on the verandah, and today, I came home to a dead bird in the hallway (I assume it got in the attic somehow, and there’s no cover to the attic).  I find the timing of this a bit odd, especially how closely they happened.
