My Journal

I was proud of something I saw this week during our Bible Institute.<br /><br />The culture puts children on the bottom of the food chain. The men eat first, then the young men, then the mamas, then young women, and finally the children.<br /><br />Pastor Peter's 3 kids came to town (all by themselves) to find their dad. They live in Nanyangakipi, some 40 kms away. He was studying with us in our school. They were sick and were needing to see a doctor. <br /><br />They showed up unannounced, so no preparation were made for them to eat at our school. When we broke for lunch, there they all sat...sick and wanting to see their dad.<br /><br />I went to the kitchen and asked Angelina (our cook) if there was anything left to give them. There was not. Our food had already been dished into bowls (3 chapati-pieces of bread, and stew-3 potatoes, 3 pieces of meat cooked in broth). I told Angelina to bring 2 extra bowls and I would divide my lunch into 3 and they could eat (it would not hurt me to miss a meal).<br /><br />She brought the bowls and before I could begin to divide my food up, all the men started taking their own food and adding it to the bowls. <br /><br />We filled those 3 kids bowls with bread, meat, potatoes. We men were the ones that ate a little. I looked and everyone had given more than half their lunch away. Those kids were stuffed...and surprisingly, so were we!<br /><br />I have to state the obvious. These men were some of our pastors and preachers who have completed 3 years of study in our Bible school. It was these men of God who saw the need and met it. These men who stood against their traditional way and showed those kids (and their dad, Pastor Peter) the love of God. <br /><br />It was AWESOME! <br /><br />I am so thankful to see God moving in the hearts of His people in Turkana!<br /><br />Much love,<br />Eddie Ekiru

There are a lot of trusted online and offline online share dealers nowadays which provide a really good price of a fundamental trading. In case the business goes bankrupt, you're still able to have your personal assets. So it's making the most out of a poor deal, psychologically.'' -

Also, be sure to leave yourself enough time to receive the quotes ahead of your deadline. Should you really need to impress a woman, stay updated on celebrity gossip and current problems. According to The BBC, it acts as a threat, signaling that we need to change our behavior in order to avoid danger. -
