First Full Week

It seems as if I was still getting feet under me, although I had now been there for a few days. Each day continued to start fresh and early with Steve still beating me out of bed even though I was up at 5:30 ? 6:15am. The breeze, warm and soothing, drifted through the open windows.

This is where one of my son’s friends, Ray Miller, is serving time behind bars. Kyle (my middle son now living and working in LA) befriended Ray [...]

Samuel Omar is from Lumbumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. He is a refugee and has a hard time finding work to earn some money.

A Day Of Relaxation

July 31, 2009

It’s a small village along the southern coastline of the Western Cape in South Africa called Kleinmond.

Fishermen in particular like the rocky bluffs right at the sea’s edge to toss out their [...]
