From Uganda

Today a dear friend from Uganda told me he likes these blogs and that he will send me a CD of his work in Northern Uganda. I look forward to that and will keep you posted of what I learn. Already I know that if my friend is "exposed" he could lose the favor of the government, and they could shut him down. can't wait to find out why!

I hope that many of you have listened to the speech about the problems of the single story by the Nigerian lady. Think I need to learn her name.  I plan to watch it several times, BECAUSE I THINK IT HAS FAR REACHING IMPLICATIONS Not JUST FOR OUR CONSIDERATION OF AFRICA, BUT LIFE IN THE U. S. TOO.

I must admit that I get STRETCHED  (a rather mild word for what I feel) by the number of comments I receive from friends who judge Americans for our ignorance of "their world". Shoot, they are ignorant of ours too!

Today Psalm 94 was the Word that spoke to me. Unless we all keep searching for such words so that the Holy Spirit of God can apply His Word to our particular problem, we will never come together in union. It amazes me that any of us can ever get along. Life is hard! ( oh, that was profound, Val!)

On another subject EAFC wants email addresses so we can send newsletters electronically rather than by a failing postal service.

We want to offer discounts for cool African curios if you will send us your email address.
Send it to admin@eafc.net. Please?

Don't forget that Facebook has growing through Africa friends which allows you to comment easily.
Hopefully soon EAFC will have a more user friendly website too.

Thanks for being my friend!
