I just started trying to read Ishmael Beah's 'A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier' in Sierra Leone. I can't finish it; too brutally sad. Of course I thought of Kenya.
I haven't commented much on this topic, but I wanted to let you know that I think of you whenever Kenya is in the news! Here are some {{{cyberhugs}}}. I heard snippets of a "Talk of the Nation" show yesterday (on NPR) that covered the topic, with two Kenyan authors.
I've been privileged to live in three of the world's great cities (Nairobi, Port-au-Prince and AsunciĆ³n, Paraguay) as well as spending time in many others (including nine weeks in Paris as a college student). I just moved to a new city: Kampala, Uganda. I've also lived in smaller towns in three countries. In all of those places there have been difficult days, but I've never found a city or town yet where God is not, and I don't anticipate finding one in the future, either. The name of my blog comes from the song "Love is Always There," by Carolyn Arends.

Ruth, I have been following the goings-on in Kenya...and all I can do is cry. I pray with you that there will be some relief soon!

Thanks, everybody, for your interest and concern.
