Episode #3 -- Sitting in Detroit...

Hujambo Rafiki! Which is "Hello, Friend!" in Swahili. Welcome to Blog Episode #3 from Detroit!

Just sitting here waiting for my flight to Amsterdam -- my first
international flight. Also, this will be longest plane ride I've been on -- 8 hours. Then 5 hours later, I have another 8 hour flight to Uganda... Ugh!

I'm posting this from my PDA, and I guess I can't include the photo of the plane... Oh, well! [UPDATE: Here is the photo...]


During the flight from E'ville and while eating lunch, I've been reflecting on what God is teaching me through this adventure... One thing I believe he's pointing me toward is to take the time to embrace and appreciate the culture I'm entering... Particularly, it's people. Instead of focusing on solving a problem or addressing an opportunity, this trip will focus mainly on developing new relationships with a people half a world away...

Thank you, Lord, for the reminder that people and our relationships are what's most important in this life!
