I am preparing for a little journey to Africa.
I will be visiting Uganda starting next week and I’ll be blogging from there every day. I’ll be going with a number of other bloggers to visit the work done by Compassion International.
The trip has been in the work for several months and yet I find it hard to believe that the time has arrived to depart.
I have wanted to visit sub-Saharan Africa for years.
Over the next several days I will be blogging about my preparations – spiritual and emotional more than anything else – and providing some background on the country.

I’ve wanted to write about this trip for weeks but every time I set fingers to keyboard I find myself unable to write. The trip has an enormous spiritual weight around it – one far greater than I can explain. But in the next posts I will try and do just that.
