Africa is not a country

I know it is sad, but I talk to way too many Americans that think Africa is a country. (Hannah, be nice) So I have decided to memorize all the countries in the world. Mostly because I am taking this class on missions and it is an assignment, but I have to admit I am a little motivated by the fact that people think Africa is a country.

I know (and have learned even more in the last year) that many people think Americans are ignorant and arrogant. In a lot of ways I agree, but we do some good things...like we work hard, have good music, have come up with some good meds, and we know how to fry some food (or at least in the South)! And I am sure there are other good things we have done, and unfortunately, lots of bad things too.

Heading to Alabama today...going to try to do a better job of blipping, though when I bilp I think of the country Zambia and how I miss it! :)

I read this qoute in this blog I read about missions and think it fits nicely here:
"I suppose it is a good thing to be reminded that your country or culture is not the best at most things. Our citizenship is in heaven."
