God bless His little creatures

While I was teaching in China from 2001-2003, I was exposed to some, shall we say, exotic, food. Camel hump and jelly fish, eel stew and goose head- each presented its own unique challenge. So I prayed, "Dear God, please help me to eat all the little creatures you have made."

I anticipate that one of my bigger challenges this time around, as those who know me can attest, may be to deal with the creepy crawlies that also call Africa their home. So this time I pray, "Dear God, please help me to be a good friend and (gulp!) roommate to all the little creatures you have made."

Amen
