On top of the hill in San Juan Del Sur there is a huge statue of Jesus who appears to be looking out over the city.
Yesterday, we road tripped with some local surfers who took us to their favorite beach which was located on the "road to Jesus". Along the way it became obvious that I was in a real third world country-most houses were wooden lean-tos with a piece of tin that served as a roof. Though it was so simple, the families and people we passed weren't begging for sympathy; they instead appeared to be appreciating the love that they had, and thus maintained peace and contentment. Some little boys were outside playing with their chickens in the dusty dirt yard while their mom looked on laughing. Another man came over with his machete to help us when our car broke down while his talking parrot shouted out "hola!" and other friendly greetings to us.
Every road to Jesus is different; no one is better, no one worse. Each step that we take is our own and it cannot be judged by others in truth, because the only thing true about us is what God says. I love the song "Lead Me To The Cross" by Chris and Conrad, listen to it if you have time :)
