When we greet someone in Zambia and ask how they are, they often respond with, "I am hungry." Now, sometimes they really are hungry, but more often than not they just want to see what they can get you to give them.
This morning I greeted my friend Catherine and she told me how she missed the Women's Bible study last week because she was sick. She then told me, "I am hungry. So hungry. I am hungry for Bible study."
Zambians are hungry, both physically and spiritually. As an American, I have never really experienced physical hunger. But it hit me that I should every day be HUNGRY for Bible study, and HUNGRY for my time with God, just as Catherine was. :)
