Village Life...

Chapatis and chai...Kenyan style



My time in Kenya in 2005 was short. I was blessed to be able to visit a village after church and get a glimpse of how the Maasai live, but that's all it was...a glimpse. The NMSI Summer Intern team that has been in Kenya since the end of May has spent a large amount of their time out in the bush - teaching, building relationships, sharing The Word, and living with the Maasai. It's an experience that I'm very much looking forward to. The AfricaHope team leader in Kenya, Ashleigh, wrote a blog about their experience staying in the village of Morloo. Check it out...welcome to the Maasai village of Morloo...

Bridge Over Troubled Water...

Praise and worship with Simon & Garfunkel? I'm usually not a lyrics person...music speaks to my heart. I've heard this song many times, but these lyrics caught my attention lately. I can picture Jesus saying this to us...


When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

~ Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon & Garfunkel
