Midwest vs Amazon

You may or may not know that I had the opportunity to visit the Amazon rainforest with some middle school kids about 15 years ago (and no, contrary to popular belief, I was NOT a middle schooler 15 years ago :P). And it left quite an impression on me - but maybe not how you think.

I'm at the Midwest blog The Barn Door today, talking about that experience - and how it affected my perceptions of my own back yard (actually, my front yard, but who's being THAT specific?). Come see what I have to say about Noisy Quiet.

 
My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. Psalm 45:1
