“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 […]
Wave Upon Wave
He stood there with his hands on his hips watching the water like a bird searching for a fish. The ocean was rough because of an impending storm and dark clouds gathered in the distance. He knew that the conditions weren’t great for splashing in the ocean, but we had just arrived and the kids […]

Why I Don’t Make New Year’s Resolutions…
I always have an emotional “moment” at the end of every year/beginning of a new year. I think it is just reflecting on the year that has passed–all the good, all the heartbreak, all the hopes and dreams (some of which came to pass and some that never came at all)–that brings tears to my […]
Is There Room In Your Inn?
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 […]
