the soul musings of a man living between two worlds
Africa
My first trip to Africa was in 1995. I went on a medical and Bible teaching mission trip to Ghana, West Africa. We visited the capital city of Accra, where I preached and witnessed God do an amazing work of transformation. I assisted Dr. Mervyn Smith treating illnesses and organizing a clinic in Obuasi and Kumasi. That trip changed my outlook of the world and gave me a deep desire to be involved in serving Africa is some way. When we arrived in Ghana, one of the natives asked me, "What took you so long to come home." That statement ...
Heart of my Soul

Each day, I am understanding more and more of what it means to die so I can truly live. God has blessed ...

You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry that it took you so many times to listen to it. Actually, I read it/recited it at my home. I might do it at church one Sunday. Have to find a Sunday when it will fit. Thanks. Grace and peace.

wow. just wow. that was truly beautiful. i am so weary and so very tired lately. i have looked far and wide for just a little, a hint, of encouragement and have found it this evening in the gift of you. the Father has heard my cry, and i can't thank you enough. that was beyond awesome. i feel like a raggedy beaten up ole cross these days, thank you for reminding me that there is great value in that. He never said it would be easy!
