Just a three short months ago, I was in Uganda with a group of 27 from my church. Although I am out of Africa, Africa is not out of me. Our church is currently hosting an international conference, and some of the people that I just came to know and love this summer, have now stayed in our home, shared our breakfast table, opened the Bible with us in the living room and knelt to pray with us.Never would have I dreamed that my family of four would multiply to include dear people that live so far ...

A Seal and a Song
The words to an old hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" have been on repeat in my mind.
