'round here

Of all the unexpected things that have happened in my life, being interviewed by the Baylor Line's Between the Lines feature was quite a surprise. The link to the story is here. I'm still not comfortable with being the subject of an interview, but it was a nice way to be forced to synthesize some of what I saw and learned in the Congo, and I really appreciate Judy Prather's kind words in our interview and in the story.

For those of you who are first-time visitors to Texas in Africa via the Baylor story, here are some posts from the trip:

• On Being Outsiders in Congo
• On the Volcano in the Backyard
• On Early Impressions of the Violence
• On Violence Against Women and Girls
• On the Families from Sake: 1) What We Found 2) What it Would Take to Help 3) Redemption
• On Living with the Suffering
• On Helping the Poor
• On Leaving Congo
• On Being Home
