This has been quite a journey if you consider it began in middle school with my commitment to going wherever God would lead me. Eight years after returning from Burkina Faso to take care of family health concerns, we now have the opportunity to return to West Africa to serve as missionaries with the Southern Baptist International Mission Board in church planting and evangelism at the Baptist Medical Center in Nalerigu, Ghana.
To reopen this book, I must close another one--teaching high school English at Whites Creek in Nashville, Tennessee. The only thing saves me from wrenching heartache is the promise of joy in Ghana and, I must confess, the release from a grueling work schedule. Teaching high school English, however, must rannk near the top for exercising one's creative abilities and challenging one's sanity.
