This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

As one who has had malaria 5 times, as well as Dengue Fever, and have treated patients and lost patients and friends to malaria, this has angered me for years!!
More people die annually from malaria, which is preventable, than from AIDS.
