These intermittent posts are all related to our house build, however I am aware that life continues beyond the banging and the shifting walls of ours. (*Okay, I can't help it. Right now they are doing the roof. I am fully expecting the leg of a builder to appear through the roof above my head any minute now. The ceiling boards are shifting ?

From de kooijtjes, Today, Similar articles

It's always very crowded in the narrow, dusty streets of the slums. How come that there are no old people here' Is this because of the war' ?Yes, but also they don't come often out of their barakas. Besides, there are not really old people here as they usually don't reach the age of 50. The living conditions in the slum are extremely bad. It's too crowded and utterly unhygienic with mounds of rotten garbage and no clean water.? The average life expectancy in Angola is not more than 39 years!...

From Here There and Everywhere, Today, Similar articles

From today’s AOL News/ Huffpost: So here’s the thing. In the USA, as in many countries, people study their ancestry, their bloodlines.

Have you ever been given a verse for your birthday'  One of the precious gifts that I received yesterday was Zephaniah 3:17.  What a treasure!  Just like the priceless young woman who gave it to me.  She wrote that she was praying these words over my life.  And I am blown away by her thoughtfulness.  Her message went on to say:"Praying you feel his celebration and delight over your life more and more."This present arrived the night before my birthday....
