I was thinking about doing a series on some of my favorite things brought back from overseas, ala Paul's International Toothpaste Museum. Each one has a story.
I found this lovely ceramic bowl in Tunisia back in 2005. If it survived the journey home I planned to give it to one of the families that contributes to my financial support. It would look great in their house.
This family is super generous; even though we don't really know each other very well, they've given more than $70,000 to my ministry over the years in significant monthly donations as well as special gifts in the multiple thousands.
Of course there's no way I can repay them for allowing me to do what I do. But I can at least express my gratitude well.
When I saw this in a shop in the medina, I realized it was just the kind of thing they would like. But I kind of liked it for myself too. So I've never sent it to them.
Apparently, I'm not that generous.

I'm glad the Toothpaste Museum inspired you.
And summer is hard for me too... with the kids being out of school, the home-office thing is more challenging.
