Psalm 121 (NIV)

I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

What gets smuggled into Uganda?

You can tell a little about a country from what gets smuggled into it. The Uganda Revenue Authority today named the 10 most-smuggled products illegally entering Uganda (usually being smuggled to avoid paying taxes):

  • polythene (clear plastic) bags
  • mobile phones
  • motorcycles
  • Bitengi fabrics (not quite sure what these are)
  • counterfeit cosmetics products
  • fabrics and garments originating from Asia
  • rice
  • cigarettes
  • medical supplies
  • precious minerals (most likely being transported out of the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly known as Zaire, or Sudan)

I wonder what America's list looks like.  -Shauen
