Hospitality Thoughts

I posted my thoughts about Hospitality every day this week on Instagram. You can follow me and my adventures there @jlikestogo. Hospitality has been extended to me around the world. It might look different in every place we sit, but if we think about it – isn’t it about the people sitting across from us,

Plugged In

  International travel always requires the adapters to be packed with the chargers necessary to keep everything up and running. Funny thing is there are so many different types, I have to check to be sure I have the exact one to work in each country. Even so, there are times I get into places

Smiling Eyes

  We settled in our chairs, sitting in the middle of the rice fields, somewhere in eastern India and the people came. First, the women and children and soon after, the men gathered around the edges. The smell of something burning overwhelmed our sense of smell. Maybe rice fields were being burned off, but the

Ripples In The Reflections

  I love sharing my adventures and journeys through photographs. Anyone who spends any time with me knows I’m always looking for the beauty surrounding me. My pictures reflect what I see. They do not reflect what’s going on in me and around me. I never want to mislead anyone to think my life is

The Goal – Ask God

. . . But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! 1 Corinthians 13:12 The Message Life. If you have lived many years on this earth, you probably

Even In The Small

I walked past this guy hanging on the wall. I don’t know his name. How does he manage to balance the unique set of body parts he has been given? He manages because his Creator’s design works. He has everything he needs. I’m reminded of people I know. Looking at the circumstances of their lives,

The Beautiful Butterfly

Looking up at the hanging baskets at the nursery recently, I spotted this beauty. The sun was behind her and the light – incredible. It was as though she posed for me. Really! I mean, look how she’s showing off! Her beauty moves me. My heart was amazed at the detail of her design and
