Feed My Sheep

I enjoy grocery shopping so that I can select what looks good and fresh. Some people conveniently have prime delivery do it all. Shopping is different in Haiti.

In 1977, I went to India. The smells, sounds, and food were different. I went to India to share Jesus with other women. The small plane from Madras to Madurai had live chicks packed in the back of the plane. The women sat on mats and we ate our food out of banana leaves. The sharing of Jesus definitely bonded us together. […]
