A time and season

There is a time and season, the Scriptures say, for everything under heaven. In this season, I am mindful of the vision God gave me seven years ago to create Living Room, a community of compassion that honors life and offers hope. In more ways than I ever dreamed, this vision is being fulfilled. Kimbilio Hospice is full of men, women, and children receiving quality end-of-life care.

Thursday, 9:15pm here in Kenya. The evening is quieting down in the guesthouse, however outside the crickets are joyfully making their songs. Our friendly rooster is quiet so far this evening. As mentioned in an earlier blog by my teammate, the rainy season has started some.
