The Secret Place

My hands are calloused from my new best friend — a trusty, old-fashioned hoe. I spend 90% of my week covered in mud, dirt, and other treasures of the earth. I have undecided tan lines on my back and feet, interesting insect bites on my ankles, and the smell of pigs, goats, and cows in my nose. So, to say the least, our ministry here in Thailand is my dream. If you know me at all, you know it has been a recent fascination of mine to become a farmer.

Through The Eyes Of A Child

These eyes. I wonder what they see every day. I wonder what goes on behind the surface. What does she think about? What does she contemplate? What does she want out of life? What does she want to be when she grows older? What thoughts circle through her mind late at night, when she can’t sleep? As she sits and eats her lunch, long after the other children are done eating, I wonder if she enjoys the alone time. I wonder what her eyes have seen. I wonder how different our lives are. I wonder how our lives are similar. After all, we are both God’s children. We are both...
