Walking Into History


As a child we read in storybooks of distant places and people around the world. As one who loves history and geography, I loved to read about the people of the Orient, their customs and history. The Great Wall of China is one of the marvels of the world.

Reading and seeing pictures of the Great Wall always got my attention. I have many dreams and goals yet to be accomplished. My list of places to visit is extensive however, I never imagined getting to actually see the Great Wall.

On March 24, 2007, the Lord actually allowed me, not only to see the wall but actually to hike on a portion of this marvel of construction and military dominance.

This formerly poor boy from a 'bad' school on a small island walked in the pages of his childhood reading books. Where we come from has not bearing on where we can go when we have a dream.

Wow... Life is Good, God is Great and I am Blessed!
