Hard to Quit Posting; Can you bear more?

Ok, so I can still grow through Africa EVEN when I have finished recording the major events of the past three weeks. Today my heart is hurting for Malawi where today Joyce Mlenga sitting at my kitchen table told me of the corruption and consequent hardship in her country, most of what has taken place since Aug 30 when she left. 19 hours a day without electricity, a President who wants to appoint his brother to replace himself, demand for a five hundred thousand US dollars for his vacation?? Lines for petrol which is hard to find, no foreign currency in the banks. We study about Pilgrims this time of Year and yet I am moved by how many today still live like those early settlers in America. Do we just stick our head in the sand and try to forget or do we stretch ourselves, visualize what is really a reality to so many and then PRAY
