This week as I was praying about some things, I was reminded of a dream I had a couple years ago. In my dream I was riding in a vehicle with a friend of mine. She began to drive erratically. I said, “Listen, just pull over and let me out. I don’t want to ride […]
Recently, I was listening to a testimony that I had heard many times before. It was about a woman who had just been told her child was dying. Her response was, “I refuse fear.” Refusing fear is not an easy thing to do, especially in a situation like that. I know, I have been there. […]
And a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 11:6 This scripture came to mind as I remembered something that happened with my granddaughter, Brailee, a year or so ago. Brailee had a dental appointment.

As much as I love hostels and other forms of cheap accommodation, there is something nice about the luxuriousness of a hotel: the clean room, comfy bed, desk, iron, strong shower, and bottled soap for the taking (errr…I mean borrowing). They are quiet, relaxing, and a respite from the world. But luxury comes at a […]

Dominating the border between Rwanda and the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo); Lake Kivu is Rwanda’s largest lake, and the sixth largest lake in Africa. The real joy of this area is […]
Two years ago, I wrote about how privileged and lucky we are to be able to travel the world. No matter our circumstances, we are doing something most of the world will never get a chance to do. Most people never leave their own country, let alone their continent. Even if we’re barely scraping two pennies together […]
There are some amazing overland adventures around the world like the Mongol Rally and the Rickshaw Run. Overland travel is one of my favorite ways to travel.
