To Know Him Is to Love Him

Devotional Thought - The Eye

Excruciating pain seared through my eye. Since I had not slept in my contacts, I could not imagine what was causing so much pain. Perhaps I scratched my cornea somehow. Well, it will heal - or so I thought.

Devotional Thought - Windows

Dust is a common enemy in Africa. It leaves furniture, floors, and windows covered in a brown film. Nothing escapes its infiltration (except Zip-Lock bags). The mopping and dusting are endless chores. It does not take too long to learn a valuable lesson – clean the windows first.
