Pastor Phillip has already surpassed the average life expectancy in his country, of age 27. In a few days, he will have conquered that. I praise Jesus for Phillip. Phillip is now a treasured soul mate....a forever friend. He is HILARIOUS!! He is animated and larger than life with his smile and his ginormous heart. His momma and daddy would be SO proud of the precious man he has become.

What a moving blog, Melissa! One of your best. We'll add Phillip to our evening family prayers, as well as you and your family.
PS - there's one thing you may need to check on with the company that publishes your blog. They use a "visual verification" to screen out spam, etc. That's good. But lately, almost always (at least on our two computers), there's just a blank space where the "word" should be. I get around that by just ignoring it and hitting "preview" below. When the preview comes up, it tells me it can't publish because that "visual verification" isn't there. BUT when it does that it also GIVES me the word to copy. Which I do, and then it works.
Maybe that problem is just because we have such a slow Internet speed, but I don't think so, because it used to work just fine for us. This has only shown up in about the last month. So I don't know what the cause is, but your publishers should be able to figure it out.
But if that's happening to very many people who read your blog, a lot of them probably won't think about getting around it the way I do. So if your blog publisher can fix that so the word always shows up, you may get a lot more replies again. And you deserve them!
Love and prayers, Pete and the Ahlstroms
Thanks for letting me know. Not sure what the problem is but it seems to be working on this end. ??
I loved reading Phillip's story. I was confused over his excitement at turning 28 until you explained about the average life expectancy. Wow! His testimony is amazing.
I have experienced the same problem as Pete on occasion--not just with your blog but on others as well. It must be a transient problem with Blogger.
Melissa- I found your blog through blogfrog, and I am so happy I did!
I too take solo trips to Zimbabwe, my next trip being in December. I moved there in 2006, but was deported in Feb 2007 when political conflict began to rise, and the government did a clearing out of sorts. I work with a local woman in the area of Vic Falls.
I think I read that you work near Harare- do you partner with a specific organization?
I love finding others who have a passion for the same people as I...so good to meet you!
