kumbe kumbe

It's "kumbe kumbe" season in Kenya.  The time that flying termites emerge from their underground homes.  

How does a termite become a snack? After being caught, a kumbe kumbe can be enjoyed a couple of ways: some prefer eating them fresh and alive on occasion but most prefer cooking them up in a skillet with some salt and hot cooking oil. At this point they can eaten hot or set aside to cool until they are dry and crisp, crunchy and salty, a bit like a french fry.  http://lessigsinafrica.wordpress.com/

Unfortunately, I'm going to miss this treat by a few weeks, but there's always next year...

Always a good reminder...

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  Matthew 6:28-34

Scores burn to death in Kenya gas fire

Monday Sept 12th - "A leaking gasoline pipeline in Kenya's capital exploded on Monday, turning part of a slum into an inferno in which at least 75 people were killed and more than 100 hurt." 

Why does God allow bad things to happen if he loves us?  Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us"

Daily Living

Wonder what would happen if we treated our BIBLE like we treat our CELL PHONE? We CARRIED it. We flipped through it throughout the day. We went home to get it if we FORGOT it. We RECEIVED messages from the text. We COULDN'T live WITHOUT it. We GAVE it to KIDS as gifts. We used it in case of… emergency. One more thing, it would NEVER be disconnected. JESUS has already paid the bill.
