Beth~I've been praying for you. I can't imagine how hard it is to witness first hand the need and then return to the over-indulgent lives we live here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful posting. I cannot wait to go on your next trip with you!

P.S. Thank you for the referral to Amy Jo's blog, which is also beautiful.
Been following your blog and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I had your e-mail. There are some exciting and frustrating things going on in Oklahoma this past week regarding legislation and US participation in Africa. Some friends and I went down to show our support last night. You might be interested. http://www.coburnsayyes.com/
