Chillin’ in Nairobi

Never thought that I would say this but it is so much cooler here in Nairobi than Mombasa. Today has just been a day of resting. A few of us have come down with colds so there was also a run to the drug store.

For our family worship time this morning, we went to this place called Resurrection Gardens. Built & run by the Catholic Church, it’s a walking path that goes through the some really beautiful gardens with “stations”. At each of these stations, a relief or mosaic depicts a story from the Bible leading up to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They ask that visitors keep silent (major task with 4 kids under 10) and no photography (which is why I don’t have a picture for you). It was really a great time of prayer and meditation. With the kids, it was awesome as they described the stories (in whispers) being depicted and saw the whole Bible story laid out in a one hour walk.

Being without my computer, blogging on my cell phone is my ‘geeky’ thing for the day so I’ll probably keep doing it untill we arrive back in Germany.
