End of the Year Reflections

The Mrs' and I at Lago Paranoá, Brasilia at the End of the Year 2017 

Like Everyone when the year comes to a close we all reflect on the year that has just passed by. Like many of us we always say "Man I can't believe how fast the year went by" and it's true it does go by fast. Time Stands Still for no one. So, I just thank God for another year to come. I thank God for my Family, Friends and all my Love ones. I'm believing God for many blessing in 2018, Wisdom, Knowledge, Peace and Safety through out the year. Amen.

Friends

Two little friends

Luis & Oscar

Isabel

Okay its been a while since my last post. So, lately I've been think about how fast time goes by and how fast kids grow up. I always wonder where this these kids might be today and if and if there doing well. Most of these kids are from homes where at least one parent is a believer and goes to church on a regular basis. The two boy's in the middle photo especially Luis, on the left loves to hang out at his church to help out his friends and neighbors with what ever they might need. Photos taken in Guatemala City.

Vania & Friends

My friend Vania, left the other day to go the Holland to be with her husband in Holland. I pray that all will go well for her. Going to a strange country for the first time can be a challenge. But I told her not to worry with your likable personality people their will love you. I hope you didn't forget to take your coat!! God bless.  

The Equator

Middle of the World

Well, I always wonder what the Equator looks like and know I know. It's a white line with a red line in the middle. They say it dons't rain much at the Equator but it did this day which may have been a blessing, although he temperature hardly ever gets above 75 degrees it feels hotter and you can burn more easily.

I meet this group of kids or shall I say young people at the Manguinhos Public Libray in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is situated in a Favela. This has to be the nicest group of kids I've ever met anywhere in my travels thus far. Never have I come across a group of young people with so much energy and excitement for life just look at their beautiful genuine smiles I think that says it all. I pray they will be all God wants them to be.

Dos Amigas-Two Friends

Carmen and Letty-Antigua Guatemala 

These two little young girls are are the best of friends when they saw me walking down the street, like a a lot of kids, they are curious about my camera, and ask me what I was taking pictures of? I replied, everything, then they ask me if I would take their photo, which obviously I did. Upon showing them their new portrait on the back of  my LED screen they were more than delighted when they saw their image and then ask me for five bucks. Just kidding about the five bucks.
