Order?

I traversed this intersection in India on foot and lived to tell about it.

For someone who loves order and systems and things that all work together, India challenged every fiber of me. The funny thing is that there really is order to this seemingly chaotic mess.

Pedestrians yield to bicycles,
bicycles yield to motorcycles,
motorcycles yield to cars...then the size of car matters too,
cars yield to trucks.
Everyone yields to cows and the oxcart just takes its place somewhere in all this.

For some reason what appears to us to be chaotic here actually does have order. This can be true in any situation – what may appear as chaotic or dis-orderly, really may have order…I just can’t see it.

India is a good reminder to me to look beyond what is in front of me and patiently try to understand. It is also a reminder to pray and trust in God's protection and direction through any intersection in life.

My Boys Do Love Baseball!!

Baseball IS just so very American isn’t it! Keith & Michael have really enjoyed going to some of the historic parks of baseball and cheering on their favorite teams. They aren’t necessarily favorites for the team that they are today, rather for the legends that come out of the parks.



Yankee Stadium for the Subway Series – how cool is that! My boys hold that experience high on their list of favorites. The iconic stadium, the iconic teams, and the iconic series, all perfect ingredients for a ‘pinch me’ moment for any baseball fan!

Probably as famous as Yankee Stadium is Fenway Park in the heart of Boston. The Boston fans generate an iconic baseball experience – no matter who they are playing! The atmosphere at a Red Sox game just makes you love baseball all the more. The music, the chanting, the energy is just really not describable. You have to go to know what it is to be a Red Sox fan!

We plan on hopping up to Wrigley Field this summer and add another great baseball experience to our list. Chicago’s not such a bad place to visit either!

A great way to share in an American experience together as a family and create memories that last a lifetime.
