What a turn of events!
Was solicited by a young man in The Gambia. Sort of.
All hard to contemplate... are we being played?
It seems he and his family have a legitimate need.
Jobes Bojang tells me he's an orphan with three siblings.
I sent him $20 for Christmas. A bit of an epic. Suspenseful.
It evidently went a long way. Instead of rice by the cup... a bag.
After a while, I sent him $200. Then it got complicated.
He wants to go to school. I think he's 19. But intelligent.
Secondary level schooling seems to bear a fee there.
I decided to help him, however bare my own resources.
All along I'm in mind of this, and my heart goes with him.
In a sense, it taxes my mind. A long way off and mysterious.
I find myself trusting in The Lord in this regard. Hopefully.
I need to pray more and better. Jobes wants me to quit smoking.
Wish there was someone for me in the here and now. Sheesh.
