SIGNS and wonders...part 3

OK... I'm getting into this 'signs thing...
but they are roadmarks for me...of where I've been and with whom...
like these kids outside a Congo IDP camp...
...like this billboard inside Kakuma Refugee Camp along the border of Sudan...
Is it just me or does a sign for 'deformed animals'  just grab your attention?
All those other things...camping and butterflys and picnics and nature trails...nice...
but DEFORMED ANIMALS...woah...how can you walk away from that???
This may be one of my favs...the memorial plaque at the Dorothy Beck Bridge we built with Harmon Parker in West Pokot to honor a true PEACE HERO...
BIG MESSAGES sometimes come on little pieces of paper...

Sometimes along the way, the sign and what's going on around it are in PERFECT sync...

Street kid day at PD Academy...
When you pass the 4th banana tree on the left...just past the cow, but before the mango grove...
you are at Sister Freda's !!!

More SIGNS along the JOURNEY...

Some days the signs we pass along the way are just a BLURR of messages that we don't even see or have time to absorb. I love looking at Kenyan signs...they say so much... and sometimes they just crack me up or baffle me.
Here are some more signs along the road...inside schools or on the pathway...
The size of this church is only slightly bigger than the sign...but what a worship service we had..
I've stayed at a lot of hotels in Texas...but never at the Texas Hotel...it does appear to have wi-fi though...that's a plus
I'm not sure what these guys definition of 'modern' is ...but as a general rule...if I can't spell 'modern'...I'm probably not modern...
Psalm 133:1 ...a sweet sign of harmony in the dining room of Africa Theological Seminary in Kitale...
