Day 11 - and my spirituality was sorely tested, literally.
We have a staff policy - male staff and female staff cannot travel together in the same car if only two of them. Kenya planning lunch at Costa Dorada with some other Kenya trekkers saw me head there driving ahead of our Media Arts Director in her raised, bigger than anyone needs F150 truck. Boom ....truck hits 1991 van, only one winner.....and my precious van driven from Chicago has not only now no windows that work, no AC that works - but now no tailgate that works and no rear window either!
As for my neck - ouch it doesn't work now either.
So much for our policy aimed at protecting!
My spiritual test of the day - keep things in perspective.
So after still doing Kenyan planning lunch; and after sweeping the glass away and having help from others to put nice plastic over the large hole in the rear of my van, and some pretty red stuff to make my lights legal...I headed out to a leadership group talking about new perspective .....the new postmodern reality of society around us.
Spiritual intentionality of the day apart from keeping things in perspective - make sure our faith is asking the right questions. Failure to ask questions, failure to question everything makes for weak following of Christ who himself questioned everything.
Perspective - its only an old van.
Perspective - its bringing the right Christ rightly to the real reality.
Away to bed with ice on my neck.
