Five times a day the call to prayer goes out from the dome atop the mosque in Zomba. It is a little hard to ignore. There are twelve speakers, pointing in all directions from the heart of the city. The first one goes out at 4:30 am, then throughout the day, as far as 5 miles away, that sound is heard.
It is not a joyful sound, but a little off key and kind of sad.
Sometimes we are occupied and deep in conversation and don't hear it, but that sound is the cue for George and me to begin to praise Jesus and worship Him. All hail, King Jesus, All hail Emmanuel, King of kings, Lord of lords, Bright Morning Star, and through all eternity, I'm going to praise Him, and forever more, I will worship Him!
