Gimpel and Gumby to Papua New Guinea. That was our handles when we were younger, but it became 'going to png' We lived there for over 12 years and are back in the U.S. now adapting to live and viewing life through a much different lens. I rarely update my blog because I tend to be too long winded and I frankly don't know who wants to read this stuff anyway. I'm not sure if my thoughts help the world, but I'm putting it out there just in case it does.

Drying and Charging
This is an image you can see often around PNG, except for one thing. The AudiBible on the rock nearby, placed faced down so it can charge. In the foreground you see coffee beans drying on a piece of metal roofing.
I felt this image showed a good dichotomy of different ways the Sun can be used in PNG. It's being used to dry these beans so the coffee can be sold and money can be made. The audiBible is being charged by the same Sun, so that they can listen to God's Word in their heart language.
In this area, the families like to gather and listen to Scripture each evening for a little bit. In many ways it makes me think of the 'radio hour' when families during the depression era might gather around the radio to listen to their favorite programs. (ala Waltons).
So, it is important to charge the unit daily, if you're to listen to it daily.
I enjoy this picture.... because of the many comparisons you can draw from it.
