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.
