Travel Thoughts (written on 30 Sep 2014)

The sun and the rain,

mountains and sea,

hospitable friends

and helpful Hondurans

greeted me.

I thought

Dios es bueno todo el tiempo

and I saw

on a truck 

Si Dios es por nosotros, quién contra nosotros?

Meanwhile 

thousands of kilometers away

my sisters were at the hospital

attending to my dad.

I did the inevitable,

prayed and mobilized prayer.

Prayer rose up from different parts of the world.

Afew hours later, I saw a text message.

Hallelujah! The 'hero' is fine.

I think

Dios es bueno todo el tiempo.

Powerful prayers.

Concerted prayers.

To an Almighty God

in Jesus' Name, Name above all names.

I think

of an answered prayer

when God honored 

our request for healing

a teenager in ICU.

I think

Dios es bueno todo el tiempo.

Si Dios es por nosotros, quién contra nosotros?

As I blog now,

I am on the road

heading to another

Honduran city.

It is pouring

sky juice in abundance

I ask my Father in Heaven

to send some to Texas.

Then I pray

for safe travel

In this heavy downpour.

Still I think

Dios es bueno todo el tiempo.

Si Dios es por nosotros, quién contra nosotros?
