Well, first posts are always hard

Well.....here goes. I'm a 57 y.o., technically challenged baby boomer who gas started a blog! What's next... reservations for the next space shuttle? Hair implants, twitter? But hey. It is 2009, and if we are to keep up, keep going, keep forward momentum, we need to use the technology available. So......

African Missions, Hawn International Missions now has a blog. In it I will share what is happening; the dreams, goals, hopes, success and frustrations of this work. We try and do good, we seek the call of God, His leading and direction. We are led, we believe to do this work, and yet we are imperfect beings, just people like everyone else, weak, sinful, flawed, scared, proud, joyful, tired, energized, striving, dreamers.... just like you. I will share the foundations of this work, what we are doing, why we are doing it. You who follow this Blog will discover the foundations of the ministy, the NEWSLETTERS will be posted, pictures as I can - as the Blog site will allow. All of that. But I do not only intend on putting the happy face here. You will also share the disappointments, the difficulties, the doubts. I think maybe this is not done, maybe people who help , those who have interest want only the best light, the happiest face, the most faith. Maybe. But somehow I feel that the 'news' done this way no longer has life, no longer applies to real life. In real life things don't always go right, don't always work out. Real life has speed bumps, flat tires, upset stomachs. So, with God's help, and some trepidation, I hesitate forward. I will share this blog with all the supporters of Hawn International Missions (HIM) and anyone else who wants to visit. All are welcome. More soon.
