WELCOME
“…God will come to life before us and be reborn in us in unexpected ways day after day throughout our entire lives. We must be ready to respond to this God of woods and highways, of gentle breeze and cataclysm, of privacy and crowds—however this Spirit comes…”
- Joan Chittister, Wisdom Distilled from the Daily
I’ve long sought the God Chittister describes. After 15 years as Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Oregon and Southwest Washington, I left my job and sold my home. On April 20, 2014, I hit the road in my RV to look for God in America.
For 53 weeks, I traveled the country, enjoying the incredible beauty, and posing two questions to anyone willing to answer: 1. How do you experience God? 2. How does that encounter color your life?
The journey officially ended on April 27, 2015. Now I'm working on a book, in which I hope to address a third question: Can the ways we connect with God help us recognize and appreciate what’s truly important—and perhaps transform how we engage with each other and the Earth?
During the trip, I shared periodic SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS in the form of a blog. To respond to any of these reflections or to relate your own profound experience, please complete the form in the CONTACT section of the website.
Thank you!
Bon Voyage send-off at the Hatfields. Tom (holding Jaxon) with family and good friends!
ON THE ROAD!
