They say everything is bigger in Texas. And when you think about Texas all of the stereotypical things probably pop into your mind. Cowboys, longhorn cows, beauty queens, BBQ, all of that is quite typical of Texas. But Texas also has another side. A Latino side. And just like BBQ is a typical Texas staple, […]
I’m on my way back to Wyoming. Sad, I know, especially since I hear it just started to snow up there. But since I’m on the road I thought I’d share a short post about all the great places we ate at in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). I’m a huge foodie. Give me a
It’s been another stretch of travel this month, and Texas is my destination. There is so much to see. So much to do. So much to eat! I’ve got tons of stories to share, but for now, here is a glance of some things I’ve seen so far. While winter is up and running in
I feel God’s love in the warm rays of sun upon my face at the river-side picnic with my sister and sister in Christ. I feel God’s love when my Mom holds me as the little spoon as I sob uncontrollably into my pillow. I feel God’s love when my Aunt, who’s shorter and much

I just came back from a trek across Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Granted, some of those were just small parts of the state, but still, 7 parks, 5 states, and one too many nights sleeping in a tent. I don’t have words yet, but let me show you what I saw. God’s
Wyoming is a large state. But Utah and Wyoming together are massive. The western countryside sweeps by the car window side and the landscape changes from rugged mountainside, endless tumbleweed-strewn interstates, and rich red rock. One thing these roads all have in common: horrible road damage. Potholes galore, ragged shoulder drop offs, guard rails that
The 1st Season of my Summer Church visits comes to an end. Eight churches. Two months. Three thousand and some odd miles traveled across Wyoming. Countless lessons and memories. I would say my Church visits were a success! Proverbs 16:9 ESV says “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
My Faith journey began before I was even born. God states in Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” How amazing is that? God already knew the family I would grow up in. He knew that the choices they made would affect my faith. He knew before I was even
