http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. This blog, that blog, moving on. This blog will live on, and I'll update it with memories and things if and when they come up. I'll try to put some pictures here soon, too. But for now, I'll be returning to the other blog: http:/ naivejim.blogspot.com. Thanks for reading. Really, thank you. Sunday, November 9, 2008. The first place I went when I got home was Panera Bread with my family. Dad was in St. Louis, so ...And, ...

Three Months in Tanzania: Zambia
http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008/10/zambia.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. I am sitting in an internet cafe in Ndola, Zambia. If you look at a map of Africa, there's a little piece of the Democratic Republic of Congo that hangs down and bottlenecks Zambia. Ndola is just to the left of that. In my money belt, I have nine 50 kwacha bills and some identification, little else. For the few of you who aren't up to speed on African exchange rates, they have a combined worth of about ten cents. We can en...

Three Months in Tanzania: September 2008
http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Tuesday marked the half-way point of my trip. Six weeks here, six more before I leave. We spent the day in Sumbawanga and I realized for the first time that things aren't weird anymore. This is at least a little. Scary for me because the last time I was here, I never reached this point. Which made going home, back to Burger King and Television and the endless competition for your attention and your senses and your.

Three Months in Tanzania: Pre-Kili
http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-dont-know-why-people-climb-mountains.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Sunday, October 5, 2008. I don't know why people climb mountains. They are big. So big that they are symbols for big, they define big, they're metaphors for impossibility. We stay away from them, build roads around them and sometimes under them but never over them. In preparation, I've been climbing and clamoring and and hiking for the last three months, and I am as ready as I will ever be. Tomorrow morning, we're actually going to climb it....So fo...

Three Months in Tanzania: Home
http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008/11/home.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Sunday, November 9, 2008. If I was a better blogger, I might have posted this much sooner. Unfortunately, I've put this off a little bit in order to adjust. I could probably have written something when I got off the plane, but I was tired. I think I have an excuse. But, had I blogged sooner, it would have looked something like this:. I'm home. I bought cheese for mom and spilled coffee on the flight attendant. Now I'm going to bed.". This was not a ...

Three Months in Tanzania: Did it.
http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008/10/did-it.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. For now, I'm in Zambia for another week. I've been traveling almost non-stop since the start of the month, and won't be done until I'm home in Michigan November 5. I'll see you all then. October 22, 2008 at 9:43 AM. I was so happy and excited to see your face. You're still in one piece. I'm so proud of you. October 22, 2008 at 10:34 AM. Today I saw gas for $2.79/gallon. Just thought you'd like to know. Love you big time!

Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Friday, June 20, 2008. I'll be keeping this blog because I love to write, and I hope you'll find my writing worth reading. I hope to have some stories worth telling - stories about His plans and His work and His creation and His people. Again, thanks for reading. Thursday, June 12, 2008. Everything you need to know (and a few things you don't). Let me start with this: How did you get here? Do you know me or not? I’ll tailor the summary for you.

Three Months in Tanzania: July 2008
http://jimandafrica.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Three Months in Tanzania. Status: Africa is Normal Now. Thursday, July 24, 2008. My Call, My answer. I have to tell you about my own, and why I’m going back to. And how this all came about in my life. Even as a child, it energized me. The African missionaries especially. Nothing in the world was as exotically different and shocking as. Was fantastic and unreal, and I had to see it someday. But then I grew up. Anyway. When things arise in such an abrupt, unexpected manner as the trip to. I got laid off at...
