"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Where There Is No Doctor!

Getting ready for NGO community development & Church planting work among an Islamic group of people in Mali, West Africa.

Health in the bush 8 hours & 500 miles from adequate health care is a reality. What do you do of you get very sick. A sickness in the bush is a real possibility, and concern , as locals are not always able to get you on a transport quickly.

So we have some good bush medical guides for tropical African diagnosis and treatment in the bush. One classic is " Where There Is No Doctor" which I am re-reading right now in preparation for going back to my second home, Africa.

There are about a dozen top notch free books to help people in rural areas isolated from health care.
Get these books for free.
