Picture of the Week: Swim
One of our kids from a mobile clinic in Thika where they have a swimming pool for rehab purposes. His legs are crazy, but he swims like a fish :)

Notes from Nashipai: Long Time, No See
It’s a new year, so how ‘bout we reconnect? Before I knew it, good ol’ 2011 was taggin’ 2012 into the ring, the hospital was re-opening, surgeries were underway, and then I was on a plane to Ethiopia. Seriously… out of control. But now having the chance to breathe in a good supply of new year air, I felt like this blog needed some attention. Read the rest of this entry »
Notes from Nashipai: Walking Blind
Let’s be honest. I have no clue why you decided to click on whatever link brought you here. I don’t know why your eyes are skipping across these words right now. And I’m definitely lacking a reason for your decision to invest your time in reading about my life. But since when do I have to know why in order to be thankful that you are? Feel me? And in a similar way, we don’t have to know why God chooses to do (or not to do) certain things in order to be thankful that He does. Yeah. Anyway, I just wanted to remind you that I’m thankful for you. And that last bit was a rabbit trail God opened up, so I took it. Moving on… Read the rest of this entry »
Notes from Nashipai: Time Zones
Gone are the days of promising to write more frequently…that day has been replaced by this day, the day I promise to write when I feel the desire to. Because let’s be honest, for these posts to be worth anything to either of us, I know on my part it has to be organic, unforced, and impromptu. Trying to schedule my heart to produce something of worth is like trying to get a hummingbird to stop moving – it’s not very effective. Read the rest of this entry »
Notes from Nashipai: Move over, E.T.
Welp, it’s official. I am an alien. And not some fugitive alien. Registered. Thoroughly finger printed. Photographed. Given a card to prove it. That kind. After a fun filled morning at the immigration office in Nairobi, it seems that J.E. can now phone home… you know what I’m saying? Right. I’ll stop. Anyway…
Last Saturday hosted a few highlights for me. First off, it was my three month anniversary here, and I have no shame in stating the cliche observation that time flies. As if my 21 day gap between posts isn’t evidence enough. Sheesh. Secondly, I was asked if I could Skype in with our CURE team while they were at the Purple Door arts and music festival Read the rest of this entry »
Notes from Nashipai: 31 Lessons
Welp, good afternoon and happy end of July! This is the coldest July I think I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Yay for living in the southern hemisphere. And since there’s always too much I could probably tell you, I’ve decided to make a list of 31 lessons, whether learned or relearned, to represent July. Yep. So, here we go… Read the rest of this entry »
Notes from Nashipai: I’m Rich
If you haven’t looked up the definition of “wealth” lately, consider this my endorsement. But since I’m feeling wealthy and generous, I guess I’ll go ahead and lend you the definition I looked up:
wealth [noun]
(1) an abundance of valuable possessions or money. (2) the state of being rich; material prosperity. (3) plentiful supplies of a particular resource or of a particular desirable thing.
I know. Groundbreaking. I’m sure reading that definition just changed your life. And yes, I’m being completely sarcastic (Kenyans don’t use or really understand sarcasm, so please bear with me). Maybe you’re thinking, “Yeah yeah, I’ve heard this tactic before… using the definition of a common word as some attempt at a creative entrance into a topic.” You’re right… that’s absolutely what I’m doing. You got me. Now let’s move on… Read the rest of this entry »
Notes from Nashipai: Oh Goodness
If your eyes are reading this, then consider yourself hugged. When I write, it’s my way of keeping track both of what’s going on around me and what’s going on in my heart. So for you to take the time to track that with me is nothing short of humbling, even if you’re just trying to kill time. The fact is, God shows me His love through the investment you make. Just thought I’d start off with that…
So these past several days have been all over the place, but here are some highlights in chronological order: Read the rest of this entry »
