6May2016 Quickshot: Connected

Think your iPhone is important?  Refugees depend on their mobile phones to stay connected to family back home, learn of safe routes to their next location, document their arduous journeys, translate Greek, Turkish, English etc. into Arabic, store treasured memories and so many other things.  Many are even hearing and learning about the Truth for the first time in their lives because of apps, sites and other tools.
In the photo above a group of men make good use of a charging stations to keep their devices powered.  Another interesting tidbit from the refugee highway.

1May2016 Quickshot: Not here, Risen!


Happy Easter! Orthodox Easter is today. It used to feel strange when holidays (Independence Day, Christmas, Mother's Day and today, Easter) were celebrated on different dates than the US. But really it's an opportunity to celebrate on multiple occasions. Is commemorating the risen Messiah ever a bad thing?
