A Few Thousand Words

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Here are a few thousand words on recent Cairo life. Enjoy!

An afternoon with friends:

Off-centered pictures happen when you let kids borrow your camera :)

Smile!

Sisters plus one

Doesn't get any cuter than this!

A friend's farewell:

Sisters

Lovebirds

A glimpse into my living room on Sunday evenings:

The B.S. Crew

Enough food to feed a small army

Stir fry in a pot

Aravis Joy. Enough Said.

Fear Not, I Will Pilot Thee

Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.
Chart and compass come from Thee;
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

As a mother stills her child,
You can hush the oceans wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will,
When You say to them, “Be still!”
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
Grant me long and peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Your chest,
May I hear You say to me,
“Fear not, I will pilot thee.”

Visitors!

I love visitors in Cairo. Particularly when they look like this....

Any Man of Mine...

better walk the line....

He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin' breathtakin' earthquakin' kind

Any man of mine"

Recognize that? If you listen to country music, it probably wouldn't be too unusual for that song to be played on the radio as you cruised down the highway. In AMERICA. But if you lived in Cairo, and you were in a cab, cruising (or rather jolting and jerking - cruising implies a smooth ride) down the Corniche next to the Nile, you would probably be quite shocked to hear that song blasted from the speakers. I was. Ahh, Egypt. You never cease to amuse me....

Hilarious? Weird? Wrong? What do you think about....

...putting lions on the pill? Yes, human contraception - lions on birth control. Animal Rights Activists call it wrong. I call it another day in Cairo....
