life under heaven




















and as one man
pushes in the clutch
and heads to an office
high in the sky

another shuffles barefoot
through the desert dust
carrying bricks
of mud and dung

and what is going through
their minds
as the go about their day?

pilgrims
in the same
great story



* I just finished a telephone conversation with my husband who is on a mission trip in Southern Sudan. He is helping with the final phase of a medical clinic construction project. (He is building cabinets.) It was wonderful to hear the humble awe in his voice as he spoke of the various experiences he was having there among the people. We truly are connected with fellow "travelers" all over the world, however various our backgrounds and circumstances. (Quite amazing, really.)

  2. Hi Kelly. . .Thank you. I don't post buildings often but i do love "shooting" them....especially old buildings. It was an unexpected blessing to be able to talk with Stan on the phone. It's an awesome experience he's having. :) We're doing good here too. Love to your sweet family.
