Landed last night around 8:30, was on the phone with Kim by 8:30:01, out of customs (where no cell phone usage is allowed) by 9ish, in a car moments later, on phone with Laura and Rachel a nanosecond later. Though we don’t share the same house (or the same city), we all felt the absence…

One of the great joys of the first four days of the trip was hanging out with the other bloggers who were there to visit Uganda. They were, to a person, extraordinary. Here are two of them – Carlos and Heather Whittaker. This is a video Carlos did of part of our second day trip…

I’m sitting in a London hotel room having had a nice Lodon sleep after a nice London dinner. I am out of my skin excited about going home and seeing my family – I literally can’t wait. But there is a huge part of me that wants to turn around and go back to Uganda.…

A quick follow-up on Benny and Uganda. I just checked Benny Hinn’s website for upcoming events. There is absolutely no mention of his Uganda trip. At the same time, more and more of these posters are going up around Uganda – as well as ones advertising an event by Marilyn Hickey. Why is it that…

Day one in Uganda and we’re visiting one of Compassion International’s church partner sites. We are outside touring the new toilet facilities they have constructed and I notice a shadow moving towards me. The shadow is, oh, huge. The shadow is bigger than I am; it is a lot bigger than I am. Just as…

I haven’t yet left the hotel today. It is now 3:30pm and today I slept in late and I went to the pool for 30 minutes and just allowed myself to eat a cheeseburger even though I am in Kampala. The day is sunny and in the distance Lake Victoria’s waters are being rippled to…

I’m not sure anyone should read this post. This is FAR from a happy post. It starts inside the gates of a Ugandan hospital. It starts getting out of the car and looking around convinced I must be in the wrong spot. It couldn’t be a hospital. It looked like a slum. And I now…
