Visions of Nicaragua through first-time eyes

Trash in the gutter below wild hibiscus flowers.
A hen and her chickens searching for insects among the potholes in the street.
Walking through a house with three walls, a tarp, a metal roof, to be greeted with hand shakes and smiles.
The barrios, the mud, the busy streets, all overshadowed by the Flame of the Jungle in full bloom.
A church with no walls and a concrete floor being filled with songs of praise.
The giggles when a malnourished little boy is tickled.
The sinner and the saint standing at the foot of a cross.
The Holy Spirit moving through a land that the world cast aside.
Open your eyes...God is creating something beautiful.
