Hospital Visitation
Its 4:30am but my body is still very much on Zambian time, from my last twelve days there with our missionary family the Warners. I’ve been wide awake since 1:30am and meditating on my trip, and I find myself yet again in an unfamiliar place- a hospital bed. Right before I boarded a very long […]
