Building Shelters or Building Windmills

An ancient Chinese proverb goes something like this: "When the winds of change blow (and they will!), some people build shelters. Some build windmills." That's a good thought for today. I don't want to spend my life building shelters when I can build windmills! There are times when shelters are necessary. But, as a rule of thumb, "windmills" are my goal.

A Visit To Dorcas House

Upon our arrival back in Burkina Faso, one of our early goals was to get out to Dorcas House, the center for girls at risk, to visit them before they went home for their month of vacation. It was truly one of those visits of a lifetime, as we were able to see what they had learned in a short period of time. After greeting the girls, they put on a fantastic program, including scripture memory, a song, a skit, a gift for Amy of a table cloth and samples of the sewing projects they had done.
