SN Brussels Airline Flight 207 to Freetown

I'm now "in Africa" on this flight -- the languages, body gestures, meals and smells are different to me. I'm in airspace I've never been in before. Depending which channel one selects, you can get the cartoon movie in French or English and the music styles range widely on the audio channels.

I am learning more about my teammates--as people of faith, we are predisposed to share more rapidly about ourselves than typical excursions; there is more to this business, in the name of Christ, than exercising under philanthropic motives, too. And just as I am finding things different with this flight of people bound for Africa (some to Freetown, some proceeding on to Abijon), so I am finding each of my teammates different from me--and not homogenous in thier motivations or faith perspective as well. This will be interesting.

Three hours out from experiencing the next level of reality in my being bound for/to Bo.

Have brought Foster's "Freedom of Simplicity" with me, which I'm sure will heighten my sensitivities to the differences between my lifestyle and those of thes children, in this city, in the Southern Province, in Sierra Leone, in West Africa...pretty much anywhere else from America.
