0708:
2 hours of sleep and motion sickness; my first true glimpse of poverty. Hills and mountains full og "glued" together homes in the desert. My friend, "Bob the Baptist", says its cheaper to build your home and pay a land fine then to pay for the land permit. Its an "easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission" kind of thing. The air smells like salt water and oil refinery, (like parts of Jersey!). I have a new vision of the "least of these". we cannot make everybody wealthy. But we can allow them to know love; the love of our God. The first will be last and the last will be first.
