This morning I enjoyed reading Two Different Worlds, a recent post in Reflections on Life in Benin. (Wait a minute, wasn’t that blog called Reflections with Rockin’ Randall? I guess the name has been changed…)
The post is pretty long, but it does paint a good picture of the life of a missionary – what it’s like to live life in two worlds, sometimes longing for one and sometimes longing for another. I can relate to Randy’s apparent reluctance to mention a cold. But let’s face it, they can be nasty, even if they’re “common”. I realize it’s hard to be rockin’ when your head is throbbin’.
On a related topic (you’ll see how if you read Randy’s entry), the internet sure has made a difference in our connections to those different worlds. Even though, let’s face it – the technology still tends to be unreliable to varying degrees, depending on where in the world you are. Then again, we fight with our computers anywhere in the world. How many can relate to the phone-game in Kenya, or the Ode to Frode in France?
