Ever had a planned trip go down the drain? Sometimes it happens.

Taste the Love

This sign reminded me of a church potluck I attended years ago, where I noticed I could seem to taste the love with which some cooks prepared their food. Have you ever noticed the difference?

Bookend Colors – 1

Ghana has brilliant colors everywhere. So much so, that I began to notice and then look for instances of bookend colors — colors that appear on either side of a central figure. In this image we see black, orange, and yellow on either side of a woman wearing yellow and orange with a gray blouse – a shade of black. I will post a series of pictures with bookend colors. Look around and see if you spot bookend colors around you.

A woman on a motorscooter braves the heavy rain on her commute from Tamale Technical University. Someone made the observation that women are seldom seen riding motorscooters around in Southern or Central Ghana, but in Tamale I saw many women on motorscooters Ghana.

God’s Name in the Marketplace

This hardware store named “God Can Do Enterprise” is typical of the thousands of businesses in Ghana with religious names. No where else in the world have I seen God so integrated in the marketplace as in Ghana. I would like to learn how this practice came about, and why. I would also like to know if it is accompanied by a high level of integrity in business dealings. Accra, Ghana.

The Door of No Return is the door which thousands of our shackled ancestors trudged through as they left Cape Coast Castle to be loaded on to crammed slave ships that transported them to the Americas during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The final picture shows fishing boats and fishermen now where slave ships once docked. – Cape Coast Castle.

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalms 18:2

This huge natural bridge formation and tree are located on the property of the Kristo Buase Monastery near Techiman, Ghana.
