From a Quaker Minister presently parked in the no-man's land of the Q Continuum. I seek the full undiluted experience of the present Christ, and hope never to settle for anything less - What Margaret Fell called "A Silly Poor Gospel"

They that Wait - deux
No one and nothing in Burundi works every day except for Jesus. It is one of the reasons that they love Him so. He is so dependable. The power does not work 24/7 so the fridge defrosts itself every night. The water dries up at a predictably irregular rate - so you fill your water jug and teapot every day just in case, and do laundry when you can. The internet to the whole city is prone to going down - "maybe tomorrow Madame" The police are shutting roads all over town in an attempt to thwart Somali terrorists that the rest of us are pretty sure are not here. When Baba Niyonzima is out of the office for a week everything slows to a crawl. And a Burundian crawl makes plate tectonics look fast.
