when faced with “disaster”, i flee. when the opportunity to flee is unavailable, i face it head-on.
i drink too much coffee.
there aren’t many things more dangerous than a four year old that speaks two languages.
unfortunately, there are some things distance can’t change.
fortunately, there are some things it changes drastically.
dr. seuss is a genius and curious george is kind of a jerk.
rice clogs things.
i’m pretty handy under a kitchen sink.
“you are where you are because God has
strategically put you there.”
fourth graders are relentless.
there's no hurry in africa.
of all my nicknames, teacher laura (lora) is my favorite.
i love my friends and family and home dearly.
as much as i hate to admit it, i'm grateful for facebook.

in my neighborhood in the states we fret over the economy, traffic, and the final score.
in my neighborhood in uganda we fret over child sacrifices, clean water, and classrooms without books, tables or chairs.
matoke is AWESOME.

no matter what kind of day i've had, it is always made better by seeing these faces:
my new best friends are naomi, john, james and frank.
they're four years old.
i don't know if i will ever return to this beautiful place or see these beautiful people again, but i will love and remember my time here always.

Very funny that
New here. Nice to be here Teacher Lora

Honey, you don't know me but I have been lurking on your blog and praying for you often. I am part of a RPG in Roanoke, VA that prays for Uganda. We have had the Coiners visit our area 3 times and love you all so dearly. Thanks for your warmth, transparent honesty and fresh insights... and glorious pics of the kids. My daughter leaves for MM training this month and I am jealous for the opportunities God gives to those who can go. thank you for your blog! Joyfully, Robin Harnist at:momharnist@msn.com
