Teaching Our Children to Pray

Nothing shouts sincerity louder than the sound of little children speaking to their creator. However, as one of Jesus' disciples states in Luke 11:1 (NIV), "Lord, teach us to pray..." we all need help in learning to pray.

The children we once taught to pray now have praying children of their own. I now love the occasions when I have the opportunity to pray with my grandchildren. I love "hearing their hearts" and am often inspired by the honesty and detail with which they pray.

Africa: Red, White and Blue

My first blog...bear with me!

Well...here goes nothing!

Welcome to my blog! To be honest, I have been "mind blogging" (is that a thing?...it should be) since we stepped foot on African soil. But through a series of unforeseen events, I am just now getting around to typing out some of these thoughts. What an adventure! I figured that blogging would be the best avenue to record our experiences because it comes with a fair bit of accountability. I have a dismal amount of diaries laying around that have one or two excited entries with promises to "really keep it up this time"! I've been through amazing things in my life thus far and I have little to no written record. With this latest move, I am determined to write some of this down!
