On the trip from TWR&#8217;s West Africa Transmitting Station to the airport (which we had to make a few days early because of COVID testing), a 40-foot container had fallen off its truck and was blocking the road.

Upon landing in Atlanta, I discovered that my flight from Atlanta to Dallas was canceled. Delta had already put me on an earlier flight to Dallas. However, I had just over an hour to clear immigration, get my bag, clear customs, and get to the gate. Thankfully I made the earlier flight and was reunited with my wife. (Sorry Atlanta friends, I will have to see you another day.) Praise God with me that Donna and I did not have to spend more time apart.<\/p>\n<p>Pray as I switch gears, prepare for my March trip to Kenya (Africa Theological Seminary&#8217;s graduation and teaching a class), and as I return to writing (more on that in a later blog).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks for your prayers for my trip to West Africa.
