• In the end, all journeys are spiritual. So go off the main road. Be givers of hospitality and gracious takers of it too. Accept the serendipitous moments of life because, when all is said and done, you may find out that they were not serendipitous at all. And know that faith is as real as bread broken among friends. What you believe will take you far on your journey. If you search carefully, you will find good food all along the way.

  of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly
  speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed
  all around me by people of all colours.
