		<title>re-entry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know where a year has gone, but it has gone.  My arrival back in the United States is scheduled for August 4th, just a few days away.  In preparation for my return, let’s go through some basic guidelines for how best to interact with your favorite missionary.
 
Questions that you should NOT, under any [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=114&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>no flashing lights, but there wasn&#8217;t much traffic either</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“We just passed by your place,” Sheri recounted on the phone, “and there’s a man lying by the road.  I don’t think that he’s dead, but maybe you could go take a look”.  8:30 am and there’s already a casualty.  “Sure,” I replied, “no problem”.
 
Well, this definitely isn’t my domain.  Dirty nappies, formula, and the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=112&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>maybe if you poke it with a stick (part II)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
“We have a bit of a situation,” announces Katie, coming into the kitchen.  I put down the dish towel.  A situation?  I sigh.  It would seem that there is never a good “situation” in Africa.  “Well, do you have the key to the boys’ room?  Because Joseph has locked himself inside”.
 
Joseph, a dear boy of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=107&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>local politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have walked in forbidden territory.  Though my passport may not bear the stamp, I have crossed the line into Africa’s headache du jour, Zimbabwe.  Okay, so I did little more than take a picture with the ‘You Are Now Entering Zimbabwe’ sign on the bridge connecting Zambia and her troublesome neighbor, but it was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=105&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>big game hunting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A knock at the door after dark is generally not a visitor just popping in to say “hi”.  This night was no exception.  “Mr. Jeff”, the guard spoke, “the elephants are back”.  
 
Like any red-blooded American, Jeff seizes every opportunity to fire a gun.  Whether shooting a snake out of a tree or intimidating the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=104&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>new website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve ever attempted to find out more about the Sons of Thunder Orphanage on the internet, you know that the ministry&#8217;s website is horribly out of date.  However, a new website specific to the children&#8217;s home is now up and running.  I&#8217;m still working on getting more pictures uploaded, but they are coming soon.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=102&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>the paper that digs deeper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you know me, you know that I am no fan of local news.  With stories of famine, earthquakes, war and Paris Hilton streaming in from across the globe, articles on the annual melon festival and high school swimming team seem to me trite and superfluous.  The few passages from my hometown paper that I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=101&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>it&#8217;s a dirty job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous life, I was able to engage in conversation on a wide range of topics.  Politics, economics, literature, religion, celebrity gossip – I was well versed enough to conquer any D.C. dinner party (or, rather, not to seem like a complete idiot).  Well, 8 months spent largely in the company of toddlers has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=100&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>when it&#8217;s child vs. baboon, the baboon usually wins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dressed in their Sunday best, I wonder whether the girls are properly attired for a trip to Victoria Falls.  When the river is high, it is more like a trip to the water park than a nice stroll.  I gently question Linah and Royce, but they insist that the children have to look nice for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeimagined.wordpress.com&blog=1690269&post=99&subd=lifeimagined&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
