Clan of Issachar: September 2011
http://clanofissachar.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. The Motion Picture Of Slums. On the day we left to visit our good friends in the Huruma slum, Nairobi, Kenya, we heard of an oil spill in a neighbouring slum called Mukuru Sinai (rather ironic that a slum is called after a mountain filled with God's presence). With oil spilled, hundreds of the residents of Mukuru Sinai saw the chance for some free oil - but tragically the oil caught fire and over 100 people died. Some journalists blamed the residents greed for the disaster.

With Gnu Foundation you become part of a bigger story. GNU FOUNDATION EMPOWERMENT SUMMIT. July 26, 2016.

Who in this World am I: January 2010
http://whointhisworldami-potsy711.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Who in this World am I. Thursday, January 14, 2010. I think most of us try to at least schedule our week. I am finding that in some circumstances we can only do the very best we can as a situation arises. I am preparing to leave on a Mission trip to Africa-you may be thinking "here we go crazy Christian" ten years ago I would probably. Be thinking the same thing (and so would most of my friends). I am pretty sure that my commitment. My husband Tod and I were part of a team sent to assist in mudding.

Who in this World am I: February 2010

Who in this World am I. Friday, February 12, 2010. So I have returned to the U.S! Am I back to normal (whatever that is)? Scotland-went to the beautiful, small, cold county for a few days. Stayed with friends of friends, fabulous people! You can keep your haggis, know why whiskey is the favorite drink (keep you warm and helps get the haggis down). What I don't understand is how any of the Scottish folks stay thin, they eat pastries several times a day (really good pastries). The time away with my husband...

Who in this World am I: June 2012
http://whointhisworldami-potsy711.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Who in this World am I. Monday, June 4, 2012. The value of people in our lives that make us Who We Are In This World. Last week while in Kenya, I was fortunate enough to be a part of an amazing workshop that brought knowledge and empowerment to the women of the Furaha Community Foundation-our partnering NGO in Kenya. Can you use a Diva Cup or Ruby Cup if you have an IUD in place? Listen to one another's difficulties and share laughter in the silly moments was so powerful. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Clan of Issachar: February 2011
http://clanofissachar.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 7, 2011. It's hard work trying to lead a church to outwork a global perspective. It's hard work trying to lead a church to outwork a global perspective. The old model was a missions committee supporting multiple missionaries or organizations. The missions secretary sent letters; the treasurer sent checks; every quarter a missionary visited and gave a report ending with a sunset scene. It worked. But no longer. Now the hard, but rewarding, work begins. 21st century global partnerships.

Clan of Issachar: July 2011
http://clanofissachar.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. My first Sunday in Australia. Church and Christianity in Australia are viewed by the majority as irrelevant to life. Only around 5% will attend a place of worship today. America fairs slightly better at around 12%. But like Australia there are a growing number of people in the US who see particularly Church as irrelevant to life. Truth be told – often Church is irrelevant to life. But, Christianity isn’t. And that’s our problem. So today my eyes were slightly surprised when I enter...

Clan of Issachar: Countdown to Lent
http://clanofissachar.blogspot.com/2012/01/countdown-to-lent.html
Saturday, January 21, 2012. Runner’s World is as magazine I read every month cover to cover. What’s weird is its only ever saying the same thing every month! But there is something about rereading articles about doing Fartleks (Google it if you’re a non-runner), to how to gain stamina, or Peter Sagal’s running column (host of NPR’s excellent show Wait, Wait …Don’t Tell Me! The regular what to eat to recover those sore muscles pages and the constant stories of other runners. Maybe even funnier – I b...
