I rain dance....even in India


Our driver tried to charge us 50 more rupees as the rain started to pour even though we were almost to our house. Sooooo we just got out and ran home in the rain. He tried to call us back, along with the several other shopkeepers yelling "mam!" at us to get out of the rain, but we said
no thank you sirs!

"Everything is God"


These are Krishna's offerings because today is his birthday.
All of his favorite foods.


This little boy was in a play I saw. It was extremely
colorful and enthusiastic.

This is near the remote village we visited a few weeks ago. It was amazingly
quite and peaceful...


Like I mentioned earlier today is Krishna's birthday so these little footprints
represent his footprints as a child. The families that put these there hope that Krishna
will enter into their home.

These children could have started a riot! they crowded around me pushing and shoving because they wanted to be in the picture.

"Everything is God," this phrase has been repeated to me several times since
I have been here in India. The first time I heard the three letter
sentence I was taken back for a second.
After letting these three words sit in my mouth for a
a minute I felt a sense of relief. These people know where they came from,
they are happy and they know their place because
"Everything is God."
