Floyd & Sally McClung

I love all (or, mostly, all) of God’s creatures……but I don’t want them in my house!  Sossy, our Airedale Terrier, is the only one I really care to have living indoors with us.
We recently had one of these uninvited creatures in our house……a good sized black lizard.  Just thinking about it gives me the […]

We have been away for a retreat with our All Nations family here in South Africa for a few days. We were at a conference center in the mountains outside of Pretoria, in the northeast of the country. All during the weekend, we could see brush fires burning around us, but at a […]

Many things have changed in South Africa in the last 13 years since apartheid was abolished. It’s a new day, new season in many ways. And yet, I notice so many have a “downtrodden” spirit. You can feel it. It has grieved and saddened me. I’ve prayed and asked […]

Floyd loves dogs!  We’ve had a dog for most of our (soon-to-be 40!) years of being married.  Some I’ve liked, most I’ve tolerated….because I love Floyd. :}  Our current dog is “Sossy.”  She’s a sweet, fun, affectionate Airedale terrier…….not too big, but big enough so that Floyd doesn’t think she’s a “pretend” dog.  I […]

As I wrote about earlier, I don’t like creepy crawly things!!  I killed a good-sized scorpion in the living room last night!  Even after I’d killed it, its tail kept trying to attack.  I’m glad I found it before our dog did.  She’d have probably thought it was something to play with and would […]

We experienced a tragedy recently when a pastor, a dear man of God, was shot and killed by a distraught man he had been counseling.  In fact, this man had tried to take his own life a few weeks before, and the pastor had found him and saved his life.
This pastor was a wonderful […]

I can’t believe we’re already a month into a new year!  Where did 2006 go?  It seemed to fly by!  Of course, I guess making a big international move had a little something to do with that.
We’ve had major things happening in these few beginning weeks of the year - wind, heat, fire, death.  […]

Every day is an adventure for me in Africa. I never quite know what might be in store for my day when I wake up . There is, seemingly, never a dull day….and, I must say, I enjoy it a lot.
FIRES - Recently, we’ve had a terrible fire blazing in our part […]
