Some more highlights...

1. Handing the books donated by Dr. Craig Keener over to T.T.C. was a definite highlight moment.

2. Dinner in Lusaka with the Kerrs on my final night.

3. Marking the papers and reading one student's top-rate book reports.

4. I think I already mentioned attending the 4 1/2 hour church service with signs and wonders following. One fellow had been in chains in a mental institution. He had been prayed for in Jesus' name (African-style!) and stood before the congregation completely normal, sane and articulate.

I thank God for safe travel. Driving on an African road is a dangerous action. On the road down to Lusaka from Kitwe, we saw one freshly over-turned truck still on the road, a recently derailed Mercedes (lost a wheel), and one or two other accidents of various vintage.

In Africa, you realize how tentative and provisional life is. Our life is contingent -- that is why we look to the One whose life is eternal -- necessary, and necessarily eternal. The Great One!
