exit strategy

i'm back in trincomalee for the next two weeks. its been good to be back even though the monsoon season has just started which makes everything muddy. at the moment i'm working on preparing my exit plan/strategy from my departure from sri lanka in feb '07.

it seems strange to be planning this in nov after being here on and off for the last two years. i have to admit that i'm going to miss many things about sri lanka but i do recognize that its time for me to leave. until then its crazy, i have seven major projects to make sure get transfered over completely to local responsibilities with half of them in the understaffed trincomalee region. at the moment we have three staff and two of them are quiting when i leave so it gives me the daunting task of replacing them, training their replacements and transferring all responsibilities. at least i know that if any of this is successful is sure wont be my work that accomplished it but a miracle from the Lord. so thats a quick little prayer request.

one funny side note before i sign off. one funny thing about trincomalee is that they started major road construction/repair just before monsoon season. now the roads, drainage and the whole works are half complete and the rains have come. that means no work can be done on them until the rain stops and that there is flooding and mud everywhere. its especially fun when you drive a motorbike to work.

i'm reading in Prov 4-8 and was reflecting on the fact that wisdom brings life. that is my prayer for you all, that you might seek after wisdom so that you can live and walk in justice and righteousness. i pray that the same thing happens in the us midterm elections, that men who choose wisdom, integrity and the fear of God are elected by the people instead of politicians who stand for party lines, political reasonings and personal gains.

i'm off to finish my mountain of paper work and then out for some more rice and curry. yum yum
