Happy birthday to my Mom

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 did too. This money will enable Suubi Teen MOPS to buy their own gift shop in Kampala. It will be built near the palace of the king of Uganda. They are building a craft market there. And tourists God willing will come by bus and stop there. It is the number one tourist attraction in Kampala. This is a store Suubi will actually own. So, mom, we gave away hundreds of bars of soap in your name to people who could not afford soap. And we are building a gift shop in Kampala largely in your name so our women can sell their handmade goods. I truly love you and wish I could be there to celebrate your big day. But they have been celebrating you in Uganda for the past two months!

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.
