Oh, the Places You'll Go!












In all my travels, although there hasn't been many, there's always that inexplicably wondrous feeling of discovering something new, or rediscovering what has always been. Being in a different place, in the midst of a different culture, in the company of different people, somehow puts things into perspective. Like another one of the mysteries of life has started to unfold. 

Mostly, I travel alone. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with family, but mostly on my own. And guess what, I don't really mind. It's when I get myself lost that I find myself the most.

And I come back home a different person from who I was before I left. With new stories to tell. With a stronger set of values. With a broader view of the world around me. With a deeper appreciation of all the things I have, all the people I love, and all that I am blessed with. Little by little I begin to understand, although I can't fully grasp, how deep, how high, how long, how wide, how great God's love is.

Today is your day
You're off to Great Places
You're off and away!
