There is no such thing as a God-forsaken town: Birdtober Day 15: Long-tailed Broadbill

Green, black, yellow, blue

Builds a scraggly hanging nest

Wheezes and eats bugs

Ruth: I've been privileged to live in three of the world's great cities (Nairobi, Port-au-Prince and Asunción, 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.
