I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time.

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting.

Very interesting. I love the poetic power of his images. Strikes a chord buried deep down in our African experience.

David,
Have been praying about sponsoring a child since your Feb 18th post “What can we do?”. Today my family sponsored a boy in Uganda. Your voice and the conviction of the Spirit are working in people’s lives to make a difference in Jesus’ name. Be encouraged and keep on keeping on. I know we’re not saving the world, but I hope that we might be joining in God’s work to save Nicholas in Uganda, physically through the provision of some of his needs, and spiritually through enabling Compassion to continue to teach the children about Jesus. It is not all that we can do, but it is a start…let’s all find a place to start.
