The World!

   One of the things I enjoy doing most in life is traveling. When I was young, and often now, that is in an automobile. I can see infinitely more in an automobile than on an airplane. (and even more on my bicycle or when I jog or walk!) I enjoy seeing sights, plants, animals, houses, and life itself.

   I have been blessed to travel to many different parts of the United States (although not all 50 states … yet). Each area is different, has its own culture, traditions, foods, and highlights. Through the years I have met and known many different people from various regions. As I travel I enjoy reconnecting with these friends. Life is good.

   Because the world is smaller today than ever in the past, world travel has become easier also. I have visited three continents and various islands. I have gone for learning, to assist in crisis relief, and to tour. I always taste the foods, and meet the people. There is so much to learn.

   The Psalmist wrote, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” (Psalm 24)

   Truly I am thankful to be able to visit many parts of the world, and to see the handiwork of God in creation. Many people have shared they have a favorite part of the world (mostly they favor ‘home’). I have enjoyed every part of the planet I have visited. Each place has a uniqueness worth noting!
