Last Day In Addis Ababa
He waited for hours to be seen for an earache. Weeping, pussy eyes… goiters… tumors… backaches… stomach aches… rashes… racing heartbeats… malnourishment… strange smells… toothless grins… grateful hugs… Today I joined the Jewish Voice medical team in Addis Ababa. I will never be the same. I became a part of the triage team of nurses who assessed…
How Appropriate!
My Christmas cactus is blooming… now that it is Easter. How appropriate! We leave in a few minutes for Ethiopia. See you on the other side of the ocean…
‘The Topaz of Ethiopia Cannot Equal It’
Wisdom is when God touches man to reveal Himself. The revelation of wisdom is Jesus. I am preparing myself for the trip to Ethiopia today. I came across anew these beautiful Scriptures from the book of Job below about how precious wisdom is and how men seek it– not even the topaz of Ethiopia can equal the beauty and…
Slather the Color…
Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on. –Oscar Wilde I snapped this picture from the Sunset Cafe in Paphos two weeks ago while…
Sweeter Than Oranges…
This picture was taken in Lofou, Cyprus, an ancient, stone village tucked away in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains. Some say the village is about 700 years old. I love this place.

That Bubble I Live In…

‘Take Me Home Country Road to the Place I Belong…’
We are sitting in the Lufthansa lounge in Larnaka, Cyprus, on our way home via Frankfurt. Our plane will touch down in Dallas in about 24 hours. We left our daughter in a puddle of tears. It was a hard good-bye, because we had so much fun! The up side is that she bounces back…
The Stars Tonight
Wayne and I took a trip to Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, this afternoon. It is about an hour and a half from the Troodos mountains where we are staying. Nicosia is a very interesting city as the only divided capital in the world–half Turkish Cypriot and half Greek Cypriot. There is much to see,…
Cyprus Pine
We spent the day teaching and interacting with the students of the Gateway Beyond discipleship school. What amazing young people, who are radical for God and serving Him in the nations. I always receive more than I give out when I come. These young people challenge me in profound ways to give all, to hold nothing back. To…
