travails of a struggling researcher

today am attempting to edit a survey targeting business students who are interested in integrating faith in their work. i think i have a pretty good draft, but it takes a lot for me to be satisfied with my work.

I am also drafting my proposal for culture and leadership research in Africa, putting in a few more paragraphs about research design. i hope to complete this by tomorrow. i have to complete it by tomorrow if am going to be able to move on with other things.

the third project i am working on today is workplace chaplaincy, writing a rationale article that will also include a research proposal. yeah, am attempting to get a lot done in a short time.

on a non academic note, i heard about some of the reality back home (Kenya) and am just praying for change, that the two heads at the top would stop looking at each other and start looking at what they are doing to the country, tearing folk apart who have lived together peacefully for generations. Even when they do reach a political compromise (if they do), there is still a tremendous amount of work that has to go into peace and reconciliation, because the spiritual and emotional toll the chaos has taken on kenyans is tremendous. Especially among the poor in Kenya who are the most affected - i.e. Kibera, Mathare and other slums in Nairobi. God save Kenya!
