Back from the Amazon!

For over ten days, I was travelling along the tributaries of the great Amazon River in the rain forest of northern Brazil. I was completely disconnected from society. No cellphone, no laptop, no Ipad. I had no access to Linked in, Facebook or e-mails.

It was great!
While in the Amazon, I was serving men, women and children who can do nothing for me. I may never see them again on this side of Heaven. How often do we take the time to do something completely selfless?

Hey, don't get me wrong: I'm no Saint and, quite often, I am thinking about how I can win the case, pay my bills or improve my relationships with client. Yet, let's admit it: those pursuits are generally self-interest motivated. For a focused period of time, it really was not about me.

I am trying to post pics! Server is rejecting, but I will post some later.
