After my last post I received a few emails asking the question, "If you aren't eating burgers, what are you eating?" Here are some potential daily meals for me:
Breakfast: Boiled Eggs, Cassava, Bananas, Bread, Rice
Lunch: Rice, Beans, Avocado, Cabbage, Tomatoes, Oranges (sour)
Dinner: Rice, Beans, Greens, Fried Potato Chips, Pumpkin, Onions, Corn, Sweet Potato
To drink: Imported Tea from Uganda or Kenya, Local tea leaves, Passion fruit juice, Local coffee(my brother Mitchell will tell you how good Sudanese Coffee is)
*Pineapple and Mango are not in season (unfortunately)
**To be clear, I do not eat this healthy at home
For those of you who are not interested in my diet, chew on this: Ephesians 6:10-20 These are words in the Bible. I have read and heard them since my childhood days of sitting in Victory Baptist Church in Cooleemee, NC. Growing up I thought the words in this passage like, "...for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms..." were about some kind of make believe, science fiction, or corrupt government officials that must have died around the same time as the book's author, Paul. On Friday and Saturday I again studied the short book of Ephesians. For the first time in my life the words I read resonated inside of me. I thought well, I must be getting wiser and have simply gained a better understanding of the Bible. This morning as I type these words, there is no doubt why I understood those words so well when I read them Saturday. Last night some events occurred (which I dare not recall in this post for personal reasons) that clearly showed Bill and I the spiritual forces of evil and powers of dark that are in Wadupe. I am thankful to have read these words and know that I can prepare myself to go to war. If you are reading this and these words seem silly, like something from a Stephen King novel as opposed to something existing in reality, I can only say that I wish I felt the same. If you do not read the passage mentioned, just know that it ends with, "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel...Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." I ask for your continued prayer and support and as always, thanks for reading.
P.S. Also currently reading, Johnny Cash The Autobiography. Strongly recommend that one.
woah...the wadupean menu has expanded. yay! been thinking about you guys lately. there's starting to be more publicity in the media about january's vote. hopefully the american people will be a voice for those who need one in sudan.
ReplyDeleteeverytime the word "papers" are mentioned, perry and I think of rufus' papers interview, and laugh, and miss them so much.
good post. remember that as you fight this spiritual battle, "Greater is HE who is in you, than he that is in the world." darkness is merely the absence of light. the HE that is in you is the Way, the Truth, and the LIGHT.
love ya'll, praying for you.
