GIVING THANKS

When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them. ~Chinese Proverb


On a day in America that is designated for "Thanksgiving", I give thanks to ALL of you that have planted seeds for my growth with your presence in my life.

Echos of Angels

Walking by a church in Basel the other day I heard a echo of what sounded like an angel. After closer investigation it was a women and man performing before a captivated audience. Here is a rough clip of what I experienced.

Do not hold on

Pray for Peace

I recently visited an orphanage where the children’s admittance criteria are the death certificates of both parents. The team I work with has committed to sending team members there every week to interact with children. While at the orphanage we played various games (thumb wrestling was a big hit), danced, sang, and enjoyed each other’s presence. The objective was to spend time lifting the children’s spirits and I found a similar effect on my own. Here is a video clip of one of the games we played…if you listen closely you will hear one of the phrases they are shouting is “Pray for Peace”.

HOLY CROSS: A CO 14'er

It started before sunrise, spanned 14 miles, took 8 hours up to an elevation of 14,000 feet. This trek was a timely reminder to focus on the journey not the destination. 

There are many more mountains to climb...

Make It Happen: Buenos Aires Bound

One snowy December evening in a Denver, Colorado Bar, my cousin Chris and I were discussing our travel interests. We both shared a desire to explore Argentina. I remember him saying “it would be great to go but I doubt it will ever happen…”That night when we returned home I decided I would “walk the talk” and booked us tickets to Buenos Aires for July. I realize now that it is July, how fast time ticks and if we hadn’t locked in the dates and booked the travel then, Chris would have been right and it would have never happened. However here we are about to board our second flight ever together and the 1st we had separate landings (which is another story…).

The Alarm

Daily alarm goes off
4:30am…
Sledge hammer chipping away rock
Foundation being formed
Chiseling rock outside my window
Chiseling My body, My mind, My Spirit
I am awake
