I always try to blog on Sunday. So, my Monday morning readers will have something fresh and funny/insightful/brilliant to read. I don’t want to let you down, dear readers.
But seriously? I have nothing today. So I’m going to make you work. I’ve decided that one of my life goals is to be on the Ellen [...]
Well, not really. But Compassion just started a corporate blog, and I just had my first entries posted. They aren’t my typical blogs (nothing about me maiming myself, and no passive aggressive letters) but it was fun to sit down with some of our execs and find out their dreams for the ministry. So, you [...]
A friend of mine is going to Ethiopia this weekend, and since I have two Compassion kiddos there, he agreed to take gifts to them.
Have you ever tried to shop for a child in poverty. It’s an odd feeling. Knowing the money I was spending on trinkets was a month’s salary for their parents. But [...]
So, I posted a little while back about Compassion taking a group of bloggers to Uganda. I’ve been reading their blogs since they left, and y’all, it’s been incredible. I’ve laughed and I’ve cried…and most importantly, I have a renewed sense of what I’m doing at Compassion, and why I’m doing it.

So, I came on here [...]

So, I love my job. I love the stories I get to write, I love learning about children who have been resuced from poverty, I love feeling like my job matters.
Because of that, I’d like to begin posting periodic stories that I’ve written about Compassion. At the end of each post will be a link [...]
I have lots of things I need to blog about. Recent visits with friends. Emotional thoughts about the VT tragedy.
But those both take thought. And my brain hurts this week. So instead, check out this powerpoint I created for Compassion Sunday. I really like the way it turned out

Below are my journal entries from Ethiopia. They are backwards, so I numbered them so you can read them in order (1-9). I’ve also posted my photos on my Flickr website, in addition to the ones you can find below. That address is http://www.flickr.com/photos/bncampbell.
Things I Learned in Ethiopia

Today I vomited in three countries. Today I realized that you haven’t truly lived until you’ve had stuck your head in the toilet at the Addis Ababa International airport. Today I christened Ethiopia, Egypt and London in a most unusual way.
I woke up at 2 a.m., a mere three hours before we were [...]
