The World Beyond this One.

Well the road trip begins. Today I hit the open road. I will be traveling to Louisiana for about a week, then then headed back to Durango, via Dallas.
As I wake up each day after my trip to Africa to say I am a changed man is an understatement. And that is what most of the writings in my blog will consist of. To quote an exuberant African pastor, I am tried of being a "noise maker" now it is time for me to be a "news maker"
I am going to stand on my soap box for quite a while, until I am blue in the face.
You might be saying to your self, "just because this guy went to Africa and saw a lot of bad stuff he can come back here and fix everything that is wrong with the world." Well your wrong I know I can't change the world but I can sure as it is light outside give you my opinion on what can be done and share my experiences.
The only thing that was fixed after going to Africa is me. The things I saw, the experiences I had, the people that I met all changed me for the better. I like to saw I have some what of an world view on things now.
Living in a madhouse for a month builds character, and it make you fully aware of the comfort in which you live at home.
Quote of the day: "Now is the time, why wait?"
