On the Journey

A journey through the world, through a small 27 year time span, and more importantly towards the beckoning yet elusive heart of God

Google Earth:

Whoever invented this thing was evil. And Jared is also evil for installing it on my computer. This is my latest Jones. Yesterday I spent an hour that I should have spent grading wandering the streets of Bandar Seri Begawan. You can see all of the houses built on stilts in the Brunei River, and walk from house to house on the wooden planks. You can see the 16th century fake sailing ship parked in the lagoon in front of the most beautiful mosque in the world… You can dive bomb into the swimming pools in the luxurious courtyards of the Sultan of Brunei’s palace. This week I strolled up and down the Avenida de la Reforma in Buenos Aires, tooled past the Parliament Building along the highways of Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea, and jostled among the sailing ships parked in the harbor of Valetta, Malta. Is this a cool program or what!!
