A New Year

                                        

  
                                         

                           Happy New Year! ( a little late, but maybe it still counts)

         
                                                      Can it really be 2014?
                                            Seems like I just got back to Africa.
                 Feels like it was just a few weeks ago I was eating good ole Taco Bell.
                                                             

                                          But the calendar says it is, so I guess it is. :)
                                                       2013 sure went by fast.


            The Stafford's ( the director of this work and his wife) hosted a late night party. I must admit that I  filled up on a bunch of junk but it sure did taste good. We returned home and I stayed up till midnight talking to a friend. Not a bad way to end the old year and begin a new if you ask me.

                                    I hope everyone else enjoyed the holidays!

     The rabbits are well. I've got them on a nice little schedule. They are feed twice a day; on a diet of mainly pellets and greens and their cages are cleaned out once a week. Here is a picture of the finished roof :

After looking at my presentation a little closer, I've realized that there is a lot that could be changed for the better ( not only the old information). This week, I ( and a gentleman by the name of Adam Rymon) will be working on improving it sufficiently. Adam has graciously given of his time (and his voice) to help this project.

I also hope to resume my bible studies with a young lady named Rahabu ("Rahab" in English). Around the end of December we got together and studied on the unity and the authenticity of the Bible. She said that she believed the Book was from God, but I still thought she could gain a lot from it.  She traveled to her home for the holidays ( she attends St. Josephs University here in Kisongo but her family lives about 45 minutes away.) the next day but said she would be back this week.

May we live this New Year as Servants of the Most High.

The Lord's Providence is Amazing!

Beautiful Mount Meru                                                                         Greetings!            This post is ridiculously overdue and I ask for your forgiveness. I have been preoccupied, as you will see. While I have not been as focused on the library itself as much, what I am about to tell you is going to effect the library tremendously ! I will not go into all the details, as that would make for a very long story. I will try and just give the information that is necessary, while still making it interesting.      Back in August of last year, I met Adam Rymon at Polishing the Pulpit (a week long lectureship held in Pigeon Forge, TN). We talked for about ten minutes, basically...

Potter Children's Home

   What a wonderful season Christmas is. Pretty lights, the scent of pine trees, delicious goodies and time with family! You want to hear a funny story? Adam has needed a new office chair for quite some time. Recently, I sat down on it with him and crack! I broke it. The poor thing would lean to one side when you sat on it.  So, I bought him the exact same one, brand new, for Christmas. It arrived today and I secretly began trying to put it together in the laundry room. After about two hours, I gave up. I decided to let him have it early so he could help me finish putting the pieces together (smart, huh). Well, he gets to looking at it and discovers I've placed the armrests on the wrong sides. Fix that, everything else goes in place. Ta-da! All finished. Get it into the office and it won't tilt back. Adam fiddles with the chair, sits back down, and almost falls face forward because it's leaning the wrong way! We had a good laugh over it. But I've learned m...

Bibles to New Converts in Uganda!

To all my few but faithful readers, I hope you all have had a fine Sunday! It has been a good one here at Coventry Hills. Around the time we were finishing up gathering Isaya Bwile's needed school funds, Richard Olwenyi (a old school classmate of mine from the Andrew Connally School of Preaching) asked if we might help him out in procuring funds for bibles for the new converts in his area. He preaches for a small but growing congregation.  You know me, I'm all about books and education, so I said we'd see what we could do. The Lord blessed our efforts! Enough money was raised to buy 105 bibles! I thought that number would be 107, but Richard had to use a little bit of the money in order to travel some 4 hours there and back to buy them. You know how you stress out about doing something you've never done before and you realize, "Boy, that was easy. Why in the world did I spend so much time worrying." That's what I did when it came to sending the mon...
