Fire! In a Village With No Roads in, Only Wooden Plank Bridges

We spent the morning walking through La Solution--a village literally built over a marsh in Panama where we are doing what we can to help a sick orphan boy and his little brother. After taping the video in my last post, we went back into Bocas town (just a few blocks away) and had lunch at our favorite hang out.

When we finished and walked back out into the street, we saw a huge billowing cloud of very black smoke rising out of La Solution. Along with what felt like nearly everyone in town, we ran to see what was happening and how we could help.


Four houses burned. I don't think anyone was hurt, but I don't have all the facts yet. Lee helped the guys bring the hose from the only place you can park down through the wooden planks and to the burning houses. People were scrambling to get their belongings out of their homes since all the houses are built of wood (and cardboard) and are literally attached to each other by simple bridges.

I didn't get too close to the fire, but am hoping to go see the damage tomorrow.......





Life can change so easily in an instant.

Refuse to be Safe!

I refuse to be safe. I have been back in The States for about 6 weeks now and I keep hearing this phrase everywhere. "I'm so glad you're safe" Does this mean I wasn't safe before? I keep hearing it everywhere, not just directed at me. Everyone is saying it to everyone. Like Zombies walking around asking each other, "Are you safe?" "Yes, I'm safe."  "I'm so glad you're safe." What has happened?! Is the world such a big scary place out there?  I see all over Facebook people talking about how they are afraid for people who are traveling, especially going over seas. I see people saying they will never go anywhere. LORD< SEND ME! How can we change the world if we are safe? I believe this is all by design. I believe the powers that be want you to stay home and watch your TV. I believe they want to distract you, disconnect you, instill fear in you. PARALYZE YOU! Don't let them. Get out of your comfort...

Want to Have a Spiritual Awakening?

Dangers of Fluoride I am having trouble staying focused this morning. My thoughts seem to have a life of their own, I feel a little scattered and unable to concentrate, and it may be due to years of fluoride exposure. Even if this day’s scatteredness is just due to the rain, I have most certainly been impacted by the fluoride that has been in my drinking water and in my toothpaste since I was a little girl.  Did you know that fluoride was originally labeled by the EPA as a toxic waste that was part of the uranium enrichment process? And yet, we are being forced to endure its effects with the promise that it is good for us, even necessary. Well here is a short list of some of the things that fluoride produces in our bodies. Cancer Genetic DNA Damage Thyroid Disruption – affecting the complete endocrine system and leading to obesity Neurological Damage – diminished IQ and inability to focus, lethargy and weariness.
