37,323 up over 4000 new cases. -Walking under Open Heavens

They say the virus will not peak in Germany for another two weeks. I'm guessing it will be over 40,000 cases by tomorrow. We continue to stay where we are. I drive Jessica around for a few hours. And it is beautiful outside. A little cold, but really beautiful. Nicole is supposed to fly home to Germany today. She had a sore throat all week. I hope she does not have a fever, and they allow her to fly today. She has been contacted by the German embassy. I think she would be allowed to fly home with them if this commercial flight does not work. We will see. She wrote a new song. It was written for her professor who is about to retire. I really miss her. I am sure I will cry when I see her home and safe. I hope she remains healthy, but I'm trying not to think about that. I have been busy trying to support the leaders at Suubi Teen MOPS in Kampala. Today they are getting food for all the women to have in their homes. The lockdown is going to happen soon. I also sent money for supplies. They will be making beads when they are in lockdown. We will try to sell the beads to help them pay for their rent. They are not able to continue to work during the lockdown, and the fear of being homeless is real. So we will try to keep them busy trying to produce something they can exchange for rent. If you want 25 or more necklaces, let me know. They will cost 2 USD each plus postage. If you belong to a group you can think as a group to make a donation. Or think Christmas. You can give everyone you know a necklace. They will also try to trade their face masks and soap for food in the markets. No one has any money. But maybe they will trade a facemask for a few mangos. That sort of thing. I hope it works. if you want to help We accept pay pal and GoFund me. and direct bank deposit. Spenden Deutschland Hoffnung für Uganda e.V. IBAN: DE 14 6001 0070 0966 1517 02

58247, up 7300 in 24 hours. Jessica has a cough, Nicole is sick

I saw this t-shirt yesterday.  I liked it.  We can not meet in the church building, but we can find ways to be the church in the world.  This morning I watched my service on my laptop.  The message was about home.  Finding our home in God.  Today I was going to be at my sister's house celebrating my mom's 80th birthday. Unfortunately, we had a pandemic... kind of changed everyone's plans.  But I have a home in my heart.  I feel home right now in Germany, and in America.  It is the place I am welcome.  The place I am loved.  I should add Uganda to that list because my heart is there as well. And I hoped to retire in Italy part-time.  My heart breaks for them.  God bless Italy.  God save Italy. I am using the Instant pot I got for Christmas.  Right now I can smell the chicken and peppers cooking.  I will make a coconut curry for lunch.  I am trying to use up all the food I bought a month ago. ...

62,435 or about 4000 new cases- Happy birthday Mom

The cases of the virus continue to rise here. Today they rose at a slower pace than yesterday, but I know that probably doesn't mean anything. We are still in the middle of this situation. And they may extend the time of the quarantine. I am still not breathing well. My cough is gone. My lung capacity is somewhat diminished. So I get tired when I move around. I can do about an hour's work, and then I need to crash. We called the doctor today. They will call me back and tell me what can be done. At this point, I do not want to clog the system. There are far too many very sick people. I probably need time to recover. But maybe there is something she can recommend. Today my mom turns 80 years old. This past month we have had people donate money to the group in Kampala. And Suubi gave away soap in the slums to honor one person or another. I received donations from my daughters Nicole and Sarah. They both dedicated a soap give away to my mom. And Juergen and I di...
