Last week I was so far north in Sweden the sun never
set. It was warmer there than it is
here, in Uganda, where I am nearly sitting on the equator.
I’ve been extremely blessed to be able to travel to the ends
of the earth; I’ve seen and experienced a vast array of cultures and landscapes
and cities and deserts and mountains. No
one will argue with me when I say that northern Sweden and southwestern Uganda
are very different, and yet… beauty.
Sweden was one of the most naturally and geographically beautiful
places I’ve ever been. In Uganda it’s
not quite so obvious, but it is there. It’s in the smiles, it’s in the sunrise,
it’s in the giant storks that stand as sentinels in the trees surrounding our
compound, in the fluttering of drying laundry in the breeze, and in the hearts
of those who seek to bring hope and healing to the sick and injured.
It is such an honor to get to do this.
