It just thrills my soul when people from around the world come together to help other folks in the world for the sake of Jesus Christ. Check your calendar…do you have anything planned March 28 or 29? If not, head to Belize where you can take part in a benefit concert to help the children of Belize attain better education opportunities.

I developed an unusual “friendship” in southern Belize while I was sharing a meal with a farmer in a small village. This was not an ordinary meal, it was a huge iguana. In many places in Central America you can find iguanas basking in the bright sunshine along the Caribbean. These lizards are believed to have medicinal value by curing or relieving various human ailments. The iguana’s delicate white flesh is supposed to taste like chicken. Believe me, it is not very good!

On a trip to the southern Toledo district of Belize, we had a new person with us. He managed to turn over our dugout canoe and fill our boots with water. Then we had to hike from Santa Ana, near the Moho River, to Midway, seven miles through the jungle. This young athlete was not quite up to the task and he passed out from heat exhaustion.

I have had my fill of hurricanes, especially after riding out Hurricane Mitch, which struck Central America in October 1998. We huddled together and spent our time on top of Mayan ruins sending back e-mails and radio interviews as the hurricane swirled all around us.

I just love parades—the marching bands, the floats and baton throwing. I participated in a different kind of parade in Northern Belize. We announced on the radio for everyone who owned a Bible to meet us on the northern end of town. This parade was held as a march for the Bible.

It is 5 p.m. and you are rushing to get home from work but you get bogged down in traffic. Whether your car is idling on the freeway in Los Angeles, New York or you are living in the remote jungles of Belize, we all struggle with “traffic congestion” in our own unique ways.
