All the pictures and vids you see of the traffic in Saigon are all true. I am experiencing it for myself this week, and I love it.
Cars, vans, motorbikes, scooters, bicycles, pedestrians, vendors balancing 2 heavy baskets on a bamboo stick, hand-pedaled carts driven by old ladies (I don’t know how else to describe…
I’m not an adventurous traveler.
I grew up with a mother who told us to never eat street food when we were growing up in Hong Kong.

I couldn’t put down this book. A Place Called Blessing by John Trent is both heartwarming and inspirational. The story is engaging from beginning to end.
The story follows a boy growing up in the foster care system, starting life with two strikes against him. Then an accident occurred that scarred him, until he meets a family who blessed him more than he imagined.

I didn’t realize it was going to be such a big adjustment to move out of my parents’ house and into my own place. First of all, I didn’t even think about the fact that I didn’t have any furniture and I would have to buy some –…
As much as I like to change things up once in a while, like repainting a wall color or moving the furniture, there is comfort in the familiar.
Take for example our church’s annual Memorial Day picnic. We knew what would be served, because it’s the same every year. In the car on the way…
