Commence blogging

So, I should have started this about 9 months ago but the non-technical portion of my brain was convinced a blog would be more effort than benefit. But I was wrong.

I figure this is the best way to answer the questions I get the most: where are you, what are you doing and why. Typically they come in that order. Rarely do I leave the person with a sufficient enough answer to remove the bewildered look on their face. Maybe I’ll do better when I get a series of shots to make my case…

Where – Entebbe, Uganda

What – I’m helping a couple here with their ministry which includes a church, a school from pre-K to grade 2 (they are adding a grade each new school year), a small farm whose produce goes to local widows, and a medical missions team that minister to 8 of the 40 or so islands on the Ugandan portion of Lake Victoria that house many of this society’s outcasts including those with AIDS.

Why – Time is precious; why not use it toward things that are worthy of your time. I think sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in words and action is that such thing… really the principal thing. So, why not?

I will try to use the next few entries to catch folks up on Ethiopia, Israel and the Wild West of North America (not really all that wild) before I share about Uganda.
