Carla and I were invited for a delicious Zimbabwe meal at my friends Vincent and Samantha Luwizhi. It was a feast that only special people have the opportunity to enjoy; at least this was how I felt. Vincent told us that the Satza, corn meal porridge, topped with meat and vegetables grave, is an everyday meal in his country. Zimbabwe is a beautiful country once known as the bread basked for Africa; today the people are in the blink of starvation. On top of this there is a Cholera outbreak. Following is a link to a BBC article sent to me by Vincent. Let’s pray for the people in Zimbabwe. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7763397.stm

After the long drive I was tired and lost. I pulled into a gas station, walked in, and before I could open my mount the clerk, a young and pleasant guy, began to give me directions: “You go straight, at the first light turn left, and then you will see the Country Club”. I was amazed that he was given me direction before I asked for it; maybe he was able to read people mind, creep! The only problem was that the direction he gave me was not to where I needed to go. When he noticed that he had made a foul of himself he said: “That is not where you want to go?” I said no, it is not, but you impressed me. This experience illustrates my visit to North Caroline, good food, good hospitality and great fellowship with the people of Neuse River Baptist Church, Smyrna Baptist Church, and the Atlantic Baptist Association. Thanks!
