This site is amazing. I just checked it today and amazed by the adventure of Granger Family to travel to thirty-eight countries in four and a half years by sailing. And Sailing Faith: The Long Way Home is a book written by Gregg A Granger where he shares his remarkable experiences with his wife and three children cruising oceans to visit different people with different culture in different places. This is seriously interesting. Take a look of the website and the blog.
Quoting from the homepage of the website:
“You’re going to a lot of places where they don’t value human life like we do.”
Nobody, least of all me, with my conservative Republican roots, my Reformed religion, and my resistance to change, could foresee the unintended truth of that statement.
We learn that as far as joy is concerned, more is less. The farther we travel into worlds where less stuff drives people’s lives, the more joy there is.
We also learn that fear of the world makes us prisoners of our borders, and grow a healthy suspicion of the proponents of that fear.
