“Are you on the bus?!” Reflections from Honduras…

The first thing I noticed was not the heat, which I had mentally prepared myself to withstand. It was the houses, and I use that term loosely, as the plane made it’s final descent to land. It didn’t help my feelings any that the airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras is listed as the #2 most difficult […]

Why I Don’t Make New Year’s Resolutions…

Over 2,000 years ago, the mother of Jesus was turned away from every inn and hostel in Bethlehem.  The most important man in the history of the world was born hours later in a barn.   Brings a whole new meaning to, ” Were you born in a barn?”, doesn’t it?!   I have been guilty this […]
