Remember, a very important aspect of daily life is MAINTENANCE! This word applies to our temporal affairs and, of course, most importantly, to our spiritual lives.
South Africa’s problem is lack of this big word, “Maintenance” – for very many years – around 30 odd! – Now we stumble in the darkness, the only light being the light of fires – I doubt the analogy is lost on you all.
Please pray for us – let us pray constantly for each other.

This post today reminds me of an incident from my time in Vietnam. Even with the daily horrors I faced there was some humor. After a particularly disastrous mission which was nothing like we were prepared, one of our fellows had a small patch made. It was a mushroom with 2 eyeballs like the ones you show peeking out from beneath it and underneath were the initials K.I.D.F.O.H.S. Since it was only about 3″in diameter They stood for ¨Kept In Dark,Fed Only Horse Shit. About the only chuckle I had in those 13 months.

Solar panels on the roof of your house might be a necessary acquisition, no?

Great idea Fr Jacques but they are extremely expensive here. We do have one which supports the hot water geyser only – strange to me but it was here already.
