If you jump, I jump. That's the kind of leap it was. I thought I waited too long; that my count to ten was too slow. But the pacing was perfect. & when I did jump, the splash was bigger than expected. Because it wasn't just me jumping in. Thinking back on my time in… Continue reading Is Splendorific a Word?

Aloha
It's been a good while. I thought I would update people on how life is in Hawaii. I came here to YWAM Ships Kona because I got invited to help out as a volunteer in the Communications department. & I'm convinced the communications department is the best place to work on the base. Everyone in… Continue reading Aloha

It's preparing places of peace. It's something so alive that it can be there for you or not be there for you. I've always said my… Continue reading Scotland/Ireland- Part 2
Fill My Heart, Scotland
When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.… Continue reading Fill My Heart, Scotland
