amazing how things affect us...

Well I spent much of today checking a couple of Blogs from people I know who live in Kenya. Trying to catch up with what is happening there. It saddens me to see that the politicians are so wrapped up in the blame game that they have made no effort to really stop the violence which has exploded there since the elections in December. As You know the past two years I've traveled to Kenya to help fit people with eyeglasses. We were to go again this year but with the violence not showing any signs of letting up we will be postponing this trip until hopefully next year. I never really paid much attention to what is happening in Africa until I went there and made friends, and still know people who live there. This Awareness has made me stop and really look at much that is going on around the world. We live a pretty sheltered life here in the US and it is easy to forget and ignore what is going on else where in the world. Traveling has opened up my awareness, and I am attempting to pay more attention to the whole world. I Pray for the Gods people in Kenya and all around the world, that they may live in peace and without fear. if you are interested in reading more about what is happening in Kenya I suggest you check out Daniels blog he is an American working with orphans and street kids in the Rift Valley, and area that has been heavily affected by the violence. The Rift Valley is also where Eldoret, and Kip Karin are located, the area's where we have gone to work with people. I ask that you pray for God's people and workers, there and anywhere else, where they are serving Him living in Danger.
