I approach the continuation of my journey of faith with an open mind, a willingness and desire to educate myself and, to most of all, question, challenge and be challenged.
More to come on this one, so please check back!

God Speed
This past Sunday, our community church offered GodSpeed for our family and the journey we are about to take. I reflect on the prayer and the church itself as it was this church in which I joined as a single woman eight years ago, became a Deacon, married Mike six years ago, baptized our boys three years ago and now this same church sends prayers to us as we head south in just over a week. As we land in Monteverde, I look forward to seeking out to gain a broader understanding of who the Quakers are and attend some of their meetings. Mike also tells me there is a Catholic church in the neighboring village (Santa Elena) which we will check out as well. A Presbyterian church (I imagine) will be hard to come by, so I look to the future as a time for spiritual exploration and new learnings. Attending the Catholic church will provide us with a great opportunity to connect with the locals and practice our Spanish.
