We leave for Guatemala in the morning.

This song has been my ear worm for most of this year, from the great film “Walter Mitty.”

I loved it. And I don’t care what you say. The story of a guy overcoming his fears and stepping out into the big world.

I love, love, love the song. And I’m infatuated by this video I found just now…clearly of guy creating his own Mitty-like adventure using the song from the film:

The whole “Walter Mitty” film reminded me of my years doing mission. The butterflies in the stomach when we’d travel to some new, exotic land. The amazing beautiful people and sights we got to see. The synchronistic, or Grace-filled, moments that just “happen” sometimes when  you’re out of your comfort zone.

I miss not being able to travel as much these days. But it’s a great consolation to be able to go on this trip, and be with The Divine Miss M. I’m hoping she’ll catch some of that adventurous spirit, and will always want to “step out.”

I hope you will too. It’s a big world.

Be sure you get to see it. Stepping out in mission will give you a new view of God, and change you for the better.

There’s a lot of beautiful people, and a lot beautiful people, who have a lot to teach you.
