Random Things

 So the recent past (okay so maybe not as recent as yesterday) I've had several experience which I considered blog worthy.   As a matter of fact during the events I've thought, "Now this is going to be a good story".  Unfortunately, remote mountain trails, tiny airplanes, and mini-vans are not exactly the best locations for wi-fi.  

That's right, I don't even own a SMART phone with which to access the internet.   I am proud of my phone though.  (I had no intention of writing about my phone but now feel the urge to add a small blurb about it)   My phone is now over 5 years old.   Was the cheapest one I could find back in those days and it still works.   No, you can't really see the numbers (more importantly the letters), and yes, it is cracked and the buttons sometimes take extra effort to push but I don't want to hear anyone bad mouthing my phone.   My only regret is I never gave him a name!  Yes, I am quite proud of my special little phone and it's very sad to think I may have to give him up soon.   But I've heard it said, don't cling to your friends too tightly.  

Anyway, as I was saying - In the recent past I've actually felt like I may be living up to my blogs name.   Sunshine - I've seen it, I even saw a sunrise.   That is a fairly unusual thing for me, therefore picture worthy! 

Rain - I've felt it.   Traveling at dusk by dirt bike on fairly rough roads.   It sorta stings the face but hey, I was just the passenger so the driver got the worst of it.   I'm not complaining 'cause that was one of my best trips yet!  

Dust - This picture may not do justice to the dust but check it out.   There really was a pretty good supply of dust on my face.

And Potholes - Well, I actually don't know if potholes is actually the correct word for what was involved in this trip but I got a real close up look at a large rut in what might someday be a road.  
Possibly the reason I could no longer focus at the time of the picture taking (no idea where I was looking) was the fact that my toe was throbbing from the pain of the dust caked inside of it in places that dust and dirt was never intended to go.   (again I'm not complaining - I could've lost a toe)    So this is just a group of amazing people who went on an amazing trip where most of my friends have never been.  

(forgot to mention that most of the rugged roads we were on was by accident but I really think it was a pretty good accident.) Pretty sure I can now say I've been places you've never been!  

And now... friends are arriving at Cafe Nomad so I'll have to save the super small airplane and the mini van stories for later.  




Sometimes I wonder, of all the people in the world why am I so blessed to be able to see so many places in this great big world!  





Random Thoughts and Questions on Prayer

Here's something I've been thinking about for a couple of months now. I guess I will go ahead and get it off of my chest.  I...
