I know this post was supposed to go out last week, I apologize – things were happening and before I knew it time had passed and I had missed the chance to sit and write. It is actually Saturday right now, I meant to go the soup kitchen again, but I’m currently lying at home, sick as a dog.

Anyway, when I went to Langa, there were about 10 of us volunteers. We set up two stations – one near the taxi rank, and another in a park somewhere. The soup at the taxi rank went by rather quickly, as did the sandwiches. Ended up giving out plain bread, for which people were still grateful. The kids also got chips and sweets. And obviously were very keen on having their pics taken.

I found the whole experience very fulfilling. I am a big fan of bringing smiles to other people. And maybe once a week doesn’t seem like much to you and me, but it seemed like it meant a lot to the people on the receiving end.

I would highly recommend, if you’re in Cape Town, to volunteer one Saturday to help those less fortunate than yourself.

Been reading this book the last few days called “the fall of lucifer” by Wendy Alec. Took me 4 days to read the first 50 pages…kept stopping every couple of paragraphs to just go “wow wow wow”. The last 240 pages took me two days. The lack of sleep was worth it.

So good. It’s obviously fiction, but it has a lot of scripture thrown in. But if you don’t believe in the bible and Christian teaching, you can also read it as just a story.

Really loved the book. I think sometimes, because we’ve read it so many times, we kinda just gloss over it and don’t take it in. This book reminded me of the majesty, and awesomeness, and wonder, and beauty, and greatness, and holiness, and LOVE of God.

It might not hit you the same way…maybe it hit me that way because of where I am currently in my walk with God, but I would definitely recommend it.
