Have been pushing up. The hill that one. That keeps rolling back down. And we keep pushing. Back up what if. Sisyphus. This rock. Is not a punishment. It’s something we’ve chosen. To push. Who knows why. I look at all the names. We once carved into. I thought they were,. Those names. How. I’ve clung to labels,.

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Monday, August 31, 2009. Soon to be on a jet plane. PS: pic of Cameron (India), myself, and Dana (Guatemala)- all getting psyched for our flights.

The Kenyan Connection: Endangered Beauty
http://thekenyanconnection.blogspot.com/2010/05/endangered-beauty.html
Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Monday, May 31, 2010. 8220;I Scarce Can Take It In,” the line from that beautiful old hymn. I was especially overcome by it when I went on a field trip with my students to Hell’s Gate. And Mt Kenya National Parks. At the foot of Mt. Kenya was an educational center called the William Holden Wildlife Reserve. I was proud that this effort is in partnership with a center in the states founded by. I’m definitely feeling a clock winding down to the end of ...

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Monday, March 29, 2010. Hey all. Apologies for not writing this month. It's been kind of a whirlwind, mostly because of our competing in the National Drama Festivals. It's all coming together this week when we head to Kisumu (in the western part of the country) for the final competition. I've had a real blast co-directing. Below are some musings inspired by other YAV blogs- the brothers Josh (Kenya) and Tyler (India) Orem. I added to Josh's list. Kenyans d...

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Thursday, October 22, 2009. Taking Tea, Taking Time. I am on my third week of teaching English to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, or really whatever they need me to teach, at whatever time. I'm realizing it's the American way to have systems and schedules that are rather rigid, and that it's not that way everywhere. Great question. Deep too. Third lesson of the day: clarify each step- define, define, define. Well, no, but I'm trying to figure out when I'm suppo...

The Kenyan Connection: January 2010

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Saturday, January 23, 2010. 8220;So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” –Jesus, Matt 6:34. I’ve told quite a few now about how I found my new favorite place in the whole wide world in Zanzibar. Knew that the island kind of forbade it, sort of an unspoken rule made by the flow of things there. And then there was my immediate future of going back into teaching: a profession I find extreme...

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. 3rd and 4th Weeks of Advent: Love and Joy. Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.". Hope you are all doing well and are given the gift of time to enjoy the season. I miss home a lot- even the snow. “White Christmas” played recently on my matatu. Group for the parents of those children earlier in the week. It was my first time in Kibera. While I dance I...

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Up and Down Prayer Mountain. I was definitely apprehensive about hiking up a mountain with a bunch of children who were fasting and praying all day. I was imagining all the whining I would have done at that age had that been my task for the day. Strenuous exercise in the hot sun not eating all day?

Reflections of a Young Adult Volunteer in Kenya. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Preaching with some interpretation in. Watching the children's choir sing and dance. Signing, lighting the candle, making the thing official. I preached this past Sunday at Kithino Parish P.C.E.A. near Nkobo. Oswego Presbyterian Church, my home church, has begun a partnership and this (eight hour) service was the kickoff here. It was a great experience to have right before leaving. John 15:1-5, 12-17. Sermon July 18, 2010. But I&#...
