Cooking fuel

This is Dauphine, the man who comes every Thursday to bring the charcoal we cook with. He usually arrives at the house around 8 or 9 in the morning; after riding from his home for about an hour. We spend about $80 per month on charcoal. The bundles of charcoal weigh around 25 pounds each. I see many men in & around Lubumbashi selling charcoal. Many of them ride their bikes for hours & hours.

Wow, it takes seriously good balance to ride a bike loaded with that much stuff...

Today was a day that I could have used some charcoal, sposed to freeze tonite.

Also will send along Cultivating Kingdom Creativity by Theresa Dedmon...it is a powerful tool to release Holy Spirit in others and in yours. Hold on to the promise Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "Iam the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use,it will be measured back to you.
