On Saturday, Scott and I were able to take a break after a hard, but satisfying week of teaching. We went to Theophile’s home. To Scott’s surprise, Miriam, Theophile’s wife, had prepared lunch for us. To my surprise, the meat being served was the old rooster. In the past I have talked about the rooster at their home that would wake me up at 4 AM. Often I have said, jokingly, we need to cook that rooster. And there he was on our plates. I was immediately reminded of the old American folk song, “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain.” One of the lines of that song says, “We will kill the old red rooster when she comes.” Yes, I sang that line for my fellow diners (with great delight I might add). Then I was informed that they now have chickens and a younger rooster. The two roosters were fighting, so they cooked the older one. I am now looking forward to my next rooster dinner.
On Sunday we worshipped with the Hermon Church under the tent. I preached, since Scott had preached on our first Sunday. Two Rwandan women, the Old Mama and Josie, are followers of Jesus in the Hermon Church. I have mentioned these two women in the past. Their love for Jesus, their joy in difficulty, and their love for the Church inspires me. “Thank you Jesus for encouraging me through two of my sisters in Christ.”
