“Are You Excited?”
During the last couple of months, upon learning that I was being called to serve as the Interim Regional Minister of the Great River Region, people would enthusiastically ask, “Are you excited?” And because “excitement” didn’t adequately describe my emotion, my answer was simply, “I am humbled…I think the excitement will come later.” As I […]
“Hello, Goodbye”
Reading Chapter 1 of Acts, brings to mind the Beatles song Hello, Goodbye. The one that goes, “You say goodbye, I say hello.

Elmina Castle Reflection
“Silence, if you respond to a little bit of it sort of hides. But if you remain open, then it reveals more”[i] Today was a day of reflecting at the Elmina and Cape Coast Slave Castles. In 2018, I visited the Elmina Castle. It is enough to visit one castle. But today, I got to […]
