Snippets of African Culture

I’m going to stay at someone’s house during a mission conference.  Since I may not have a vehicle, I was wondering how close this person’s house was to the school where the events will take place.  As I was typing the email to ask, all of a sudden a message popped up on my screen:  Prepare for a long walk!

No, it had nothing to do with my question.  It was the latest entry from Keith at under the acacias.  It’s about culture, the meaning of words, and travel.  Go and read Prepare for a long walk.

Another great entry that has to do with words and culture comes from Mission Safari.  It’s from last week (so old) but it’s still on my mind.  It’s called The Power of a Word.  For more culture in Africa, read Life and Death – a glimpse of a funeral from Adventures with God, and thoughts about the literate and non-literate in the post Class – Day #2 AND Timothy from Rockin’ Randall.
