Unexpected Sightings...

I am often left to marvel at the 'smallness' of this world and the way in which our lives and those of others are intertwined.

A few weeks ago a man rode by me on his bicycle wearing a Taylor University shirt. Taylor is not far from my parents home, and my good friend Scott C. went to Taylor University, where I visited him many times. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera on me, otherwise I surely would have captured a snap!

I see Ohio State and Michigan paraphernalia all the time in Africa, and I even saw a Wright State University (my alma mater) shirt one time in Uganda. But I don't often see clothing on Africans that really brings me closer to home...until now.

I took this photo yesterday, Saturday, 2nd July. This is a friend of mine and he had come over to greet me.

On closer inspection of his shirt I noticed it had the word Celina on it.

Celina is a town in Mercer County, Ohio. The same county where my birth place is, and home to my parents still, Fort Recovery.

Luckily, I was close enough to my home to run there and grab my camera. So this is a special shout out to all my friends and family in Mercer County, Ohio. Know that your actions, and clothes, have an impact on the people in Africa.
