Eastly Speaking.: July 2008
http://jeremy-thompson.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. Keeping my feet FIRMLY planted. Of experience would cause someone to break down emotionally when they talk about it, but it doesn't. They talk about it while they pour my tea, with no expression on their face at all. Then they tell me how much God has blessed them. Blessed? Are you kidding me? You just said that for nearly ten years you had to eat something every night that could possibly kill you, and you think you're blessed? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Thursday, June 18, 2009. In case you didn't get enough the first time I wrote about Zanzibar, le. Ell you about my third trip there. This R&R I decided to go back to the delightful island off the. Coast of Tanzania. I really. Am going to take advantage of the opportunity to see more places in the east, but you just can't beat Zanzibar!

Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Jesus and jelly beans. I'm really kind of. Tired of Sudanese food. You see, the Sudanese cook with an excessive amount of oil. It takes your body a long time to get used to it. But once you do you can bear it, but after a while, you begin to dread to eat! Oddly enough, I had my first run in with SPLA. Soldiers today. There's a long story behind the SPLA. T me in jail, and take my (Samaritan's Purse's) truck with their AK47's in my face, they eventually said, " Ok. His response...

Eastly Speaking.: Got it made.
http://jeremy-thompson.blogspot.com/2008/11/got-it-made.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of g. Race with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. November 17, 2008 at 12:34 PM.

Eastly Speaking.: The Prominent Antidote (Agape')
http://jeremy-thompson.blogspot.com/2008/12/prominent-antidote-agape.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. The Prominent Antidote (Agape'). When did we lose our sense of caring, was it ever really there? Often people in need hope it exists, but we’re usually unaware. Faith and hope quickly turn to despair, unless you intervene. Sources of adequate assistance tend to ignore the obscene. Hardship doesn’t exist to those who never experience it. Because of ignorance, they never consider it. Love is the answer to cure all problems many people would say. No, this is misconstrued. To fi...

Friday, October 3, 2008. Gideon and Lemeri Nelson are brothers and were there the day the LRA came in. They were kidnapped, but later released. Gideon explained that as they were resting from working. They get one meal a day usually consisting of beans, posha, and greens. They have planted ground nuts, okra, field peas, and potatoes. Another NGO, Malteser, provided them with a hoe and a pick ax to use for cultivating. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Monday, September 29, 2008. Vehicle ran over an anti-tank land mine. I was heading in that direction the next day and saw it. The anti-tank mine was planted in front of a school, sometime during the war. The vehicle that ran over it belonged to an organization that helps with education in Sudan. The driver and his passenger were leaving the school w. A similar discovery was made a while back at a site where Samaritan's Purse was planning to build a basketball court. Three RPG's. Let it rain, let it rain.

Eastly Speaking.: Wau, I've been in Aweil.............
http://jeremy-thompson.blogspot.com/2009/09/wau-ive-been-in-aweil.html
Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Wau, I've been in Aweil. Frica is in Wau, South Sudan. Of which I do not have a photo of yet. My apologies. Wau is one of two cities in South Sudan that actually have paved roads so that was nice. From Wau, I headed up to Aweil where my work would be for the next couple of months. I've been covering Church dedications in Kajo Keji the last few days of my time in the field before I go out for break. Once I come back in to the field I'll probably be head. Wau, Ive been in Aweil.

Saturday, October 24, 2009. Who gonna run this town tonight? On the way we stopped for "breakfast." In Beirut there's everything, restaurant wise, that we have in the States. Burger King, (went three times) Pizza Hut, (once) Starbucks, (probably twelve times) Dunkin Doughnuts, (zero) because there was Krispie Kreme! PS Sorry I couldn't post photos yet. My computer cord got fried from a power surge on our generator in Yirol, Sudan. I'll get some up once I can get my photos off that computer.
