Light on the Zambezi | Biblical Studies Ambassador
https://twolthuis.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/light-on-the-zambezi
Thomas R. Wolthuis Blog. Light on the Zambezi. Light on the Zambezi. Today began and ended with different light on the Zambezi River. As the morning clouds were starting to dissipate, I headed back to Mosi-Oa-Tunya, Victoria Falls, to see them in the morning light. I think this did help bring out some more color in the pictures. It also made the rainbows in different places. I love rainbows. There was something great about the double rainbows in the mist of the falls. Rainbows in the Gorge. I love your b...

Chobe Safari | Biblical Studies Ambassador
https://twolthuis.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/chobe-safari
Thomas R. Wolthuis Blog. Lions, and hippos, and elephants, oh my. After about an hour drive, we got to the Botswana crossing of the Zambezi River at the point where Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana meet. There are scores, maybe hundreds, of trucks waiting to cross by ferry, one at a time. Unfortunately our trip was faster with three loads of people on a speed boat ferry across the river. Dugout canoe to cross the river. Getting on the Chobe River. Antelope, and water monitor lizards. Then the ...

African Animal Warm-up | Biblical Studies Ambassador
https://twolthuis.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/african-animal-warm-up
Thomas R. Wolthuis Blog. If you are reading this, you probably saw that I got a couple of hours of internet time this morning to post my blogs with pictures. Since not much else was happening around Justo Mwale, I went out to Laliya, a small game lodge about 25 km south of Lusaka. I figured I could check out this option for students in the future and have a safari warm-up for Livingstone. Bush Safari walk Laliya. Puku Antelope at Laliya. Private Game Drive with Sonate. Giraffes at salt lick. Address neve...

A New Perspective on Home | Biblical Studies Ambassador
https://twolthuis.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/a-new-perspective-on-home
Thomas R. Wolthuis Blog. A New Perspective on Home. Fortresses without fences and walls. A few days ago I got an email from someone in Africa who had been reading my blog. He asked why I have been so silent since I had gotten home. It was a good question. There are reasons. I took time to reconnect with family, including my wife. A few weeks before our 33. Wedding anniversary we took a weekend in North Dakota. Why North Dakota? Cady Birthday party outside. Cady with Grandmas. Dawn on the left. The next d...

The World Poetic: August 2009
http://theworldpoetic.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 1, 2009. The Lief's North Carolina Family Vacation. This past week my family and I took a trip down to Asheville, North Carolina where I gave a few presentations at the Youth Unlimited Convention. The presentations went fine, and western North Carolina is beautiful - a place I could easily see myself living for awhile. On the way back we stayed at a hotel in southern Illinois where I had an interesting conversation with a complete stranger. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thomas R. Wolthuis Blog. I am now back home. Now there are many more things on which to focus. The return trip went well. There was little jet lag. The laundry is all done. Now it is time to get ready for Fall courses. The flight from Ndola to Joburg was clear. Since I now always had my camera, I did something I had never done before. I took pictures out of the airplane window. The layover in Joburg gave me time to find a couple of items for Cady, my almost one-year-old granddaughter. We got back Sunday ...

Religion in Zambia | Biblical Studies Ambassador
https://twolthuis.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/religion-in-zambia
Thomas R. Wolthuis Blog. The last few blogs have been mainly reporting with pictures, but without much commentary. I had limited internet connection and limited time. Today was 13 hours by bus from Livingstone to Ndola, so I had some time to think. Huts in Morning Mist. We also mostly agreed on ethics and the concept of prayer. Humans should serve the purposes of God in the world by loving, serving, and respecting each other. We had a very respectful discussion and were seeking to serve each other. Human...
