DO THE BOLIVIAN HUSTLE

A friend named Holly was an exchange student in Bolivia. She paints an interesting picture about village life down there. In some ways, they’re just like us, but they do have their quirks.

They have a village square, just like our small towns. Where she lived, there was a church, a government building, a popular restaurant, and a museum on the four sides. Everybody hung out down there, from old geezers to new babies. There were always people strolling the circuit around that central plaza.

Here’s what’s different: the women walked clockwise around that circle, and the men walked counter-clockwise.

It was kind of like a mobile meat market, only not that crude. It was just the way they did it.

If a guy and a gal ever hooked up, then they walked whichever way they wanted.

If I never learn anything else about Bolivia, I still know enough now to like it.

Prayer request: We lift up a lovely mother of three, Diane, who had rotator cuff surgery Wednesday and is having trouble with simple tasks like dressing herself, much less caring for her kids. And we pray for a loving father, Charles, whose fourth-grader Justin can’t read, and he’s trying to find a tutor for intensive help for him this summer. Both of these parents need Your touch, Your strength and Your sense of humor to get through these trials, Father God. You are Jehovah-Rophe – God heals – and we know You will. (Exodus 15:26)
