You can tell you’ve been in Africa a while when….

Jim Taylor is my friend and became a missionary when he sold out and moved to Africa… taking Jesus with him.  This is his thoughts about his stay…Enjoy!  Yep!

You can tell you’ve been in Africa a while when:

– Paying $40.00 for a pound of cheese seems normal.

– You don’t even glance the second time at bare-breasted women.

– A newcomer remarks about “all the trash” and you wonder what they are upset about.

– You don’t worry about going into a restaurant all hot and sweaty ‘cuz you know everyone else is in the same condition.

– Guys standing along side the road urinating don’t even catch your attention anymore.

– Buying your supper out of the window of your vehicle while you are stopped at an intersection seems perfectly normal.

– You no longer get upset at the Police stopping you and asking for your papers when they have no reason to.

– A Policeman carrying an AK seems perfectly normal.

– You can actually tell a joke in another language and it works!

– People can no longer tell which country you are from without asking you.

– By noon you can’t remember if you showered and put on clean clothes in the morning.

– You no longer check closely to see if there are bugs in whatever it is you are eating.

It is the desire of my heart that God be Lord of my life. Life’s experiences have killed the old man and God is building a new creation in me. I look forward to experiencing the new man God creates in the old vessel known as Archie via "God Spots".
