Taken back in July when I went home to New York to be with my parents and help my dad after his 5th knee surgery…yup…that’s a long story. He is doing quite well. Life has been a bit crazy lately but I hope to get back to posting more images here. Thanks for stopping by!
The Indian Scout Sixty is an absolute blast to ride….uhh….thought you might want to know that. Cheers!
Not about anything specific…just wondering if you have any bright ideas…
…an early morning journey…
….chasing my shadow into the west…
…then peace…
…in the stillness of morning…
The World Trade Center Transportation Hub seems to a bit out of place amidst the shiny, modern buildings in Lower Manhattan. It sort of looks like a gigantic stegosaurus skeleton that was unearthed during construction. Here is an image taken inside the hub.
This is one of the spectacular views from the One World Observatory located in One World Trade Center in New York. It took less than 47 seconds for the video-screens-for-walls elevator to soar 102 stories!
So grateful to be back home visiting my parents in New York. Here is Jones Beach on a beautiful evening….
The biggest take away from my trip to Haiti was the reality that light shines amidst the darkness. We met missionaries, pastors, entrepreneurs and nuns that are bringing hope, practical help and light to Haiti.
The Apparent Project is a bright light in Haiti. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with this life giving and life changing work: http://apparentproject.org/
On the homepage of The Apparent Project you will read: “Arts advocating for the poor.” This is a remarkable work that is providing skills, employment and, literally, life, to families.
Be sure and check out The Apparent Project Party Box page on the site: http://apparentproject.org/party-boxes/
Thank you!
See the shells? I never thought that I would hate seeing sea shells. I love the shore…I love the ocean, but these shells…these shells I would rather not see. Do you see these shells? These jagged, dirty, sad, colorless shells serve as the sidewalk…the road beneath the bare feet of those beautiful children who run across these shells, which occasionally are submerged in sewage…see the shells?…these shells supporting a young boy whose silent stare and precious smile invade my heart…shattering my bent to complain about the smallest inconveniences in my comfortable smart phone filled life…see these shells? I will never again see shells without remembering to pray for the precious men, women and children of Cite Soleil in Haiti. I am eager to return to this city, these children…I don’t want to see these shells, but I will return for all those unseen children….those unseen families….
We have had a wonderful time in Haiti! Our hearts have been broken by the poverty and darknes here, but we have also been encouraged by the many people here who are bringing light! The Hatians are beautiful and have such a warm spirit. Our team has had ministry with children and adults by sharing stories, dancing, performing skits as well as feeding children, painting a church in Port au Prince and painting a house that our church helped to build in Cite Soleil. Here are just a few images…
