I had Professor Wettaw and he was a great teacher. His legacy will long live on. Prayers to his family during this time of mourning.

Re: First look at 2019 Chevy Bolt EV with new ‘Shock’ color – tell us what you want to know about the car

africankelli — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 12:24:09 -0000

Sadly, I am not. It was such a hassle to purchase a $40K vehicle from this dealer, and we tried multiple dealerships. They just don't know what they are doing yet in regards to the Bolt.

We were on a waiting list and the Chevy dealerships we worked with did not make it easy to buy this car. I wish Chevy would work with those selling these cars on education. The salespeople still know very little, and when I took mine in recently for an update, the service person couldn't figure out how to change the oil...

I love my Bolt. It is quick, efficient, and worth every penny in the time I save in traffic. (Electric vehicles can use the carpool lane in Maricopa County, giving me back at least an hour each day.) My questions regarding the 2019 version: improved battery when using AC?

I worked in Africa in maternal and child health for several years. I am so thankful for you visiting and writing this post. I wish I had the courage to sell everything and go myself. Thank you. For running, for raising the money, for giving these folks light and more hope, for bringing light to the subject of maternal and child mortality. Thank you.

Making these tonight with a baked apple on the side (pork chops should always come with applesauce) and kale salad. Thank you!

He did come to redeem us all. And heaven knows I'm full of faults too. Didn't meant that to come off as preachy as it did.
Love more, hate less. That's it.

I am struggling with how to respond. I want to adopt a child to make up for the 10,000 who lost sponsorship in this awful, horrifically hateful time. But I do NOT want my sponsorship to be misinterpreted as my support for inequality.
I think the answer is to sponsor a kid, or four, and to continue to work on the hearts of our fellow Christians at home who apparently need a bit more love too.

Trying this today; I am 15 hours in now, headed to the gym for strength training in a few hours. We'll see how the workout feels on an empty tank! Thank you for continuing to inspire me!

I lead an annual campaign to do good acts for others during lent. It is called Calculated Acts of Kindness (CAOK) and gets folks from around to world to focus on being extra generous during this time.

Re: What If Jesus Had Been More Like The Arizona House Of Representatives?

africankelli — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:46:16 -0000

We are called to love all. Jesus' message was clear.
As an Arizonan, I can only hope this nonsense will be vetoed Friday. As a Christian, I can only hope we can all stop the conversation about how discrimination is a freedom, and ooops! How this bill may influence our economy with the upcoming Super Bowl.
This isn't about freedoms or finances. It is about opening our hearts and doors and minds and being more loving to all.

Vaseline on my feet and hands at night. Keeps my skin looking great, and keeps my pedicures and manicures nicer for at least an extra week.

Oh, do I have ideas on a signature baked good and meal! OH DO I HAVE IDEAS! I love these photos. I suggest your signature baked good be the Cooks Illustrated No Knead bread if you have a dutch oven. You will be so impressed with yourself for baking bread, and it can be made in a dozen different ways. And it is good! And for a meal -- mine is Mexican meatloaf. It is spicy and health and delicious and I've yet to serve it to someone who hated it. Or roast chicken. Email me if you want help with recipes. Your baby is adorable!

Our call as Christians is to help the poor. Jesus couldn't have been clearer on this message. Thank you for reminding us! (And thank God for a Pope who is socially justice minded.)

Re: Dealing with Bullies or Why I Don’t Organize Many Events

africankelli — Mon, 16 May 2011 17:30:33 -0000

Well. The easiest way to fight a bully is to provide a community so loving and creative, his/her voice can't be heard above the good work underway.
You did the right thing. It is sad legal nonsense was thrown at you in this argument. You were polite. In the long run, bullies never win.
May this event be the most successful yet and may you be reminded why you began working on it so long ago!

Sounds like a well-thought plan, Tyson. Good for you! I am certain your work and your well-being will benefit. We should all be so thoughtful about how we are working and how our creativity could benefit from introspection.
