Remembering Joey ...: June 2009
http://johnsonsmauiohana.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 11, 2009. In the end everything will be all right, nothing can harm you permanently; no loss is lasting, no defeat more than transitory, no disappointment is conclusive. Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement and death will be part of your journey, but the kingdom of God will conquer all of these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.".

Remembering Joey ...: The Brief Journey Of Life
http://johnsonsmauiohana.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-journey-of-life.html
Friday, May 22, 2009. The Brief Journey Of Life. Our days on earth are like a shadow. I Chronicles 29:15 NIV. He who "lives forever" has placed himself at the head of a band of pilgrims who mutter, "How long O Lord, how long? How long must I endure this sickness? How long must I endure this spouse? How long must I endure this paycheck? Do you really want God to answer? But he seldom does that. He usually opts to measure the here and the now. Against the there and then;. And when you compare this. In Memo...

A Life Extraordinary: Threads of Hope
http://mandadorough.blogspot.com/p/threads-of-hope.html
My life seems to be filled with fundraisers these days, but this one is truly special. This family. He could see that they were living in desperate conditions and deeply wanted to help but he knew they wouldn't take it without giving something in return. So he told them he wanted $100 worth of bracelets and he would pick them up the next time he visited. When he came back they presented him with 1300 bracelets! So why am I selling them? I committed to the World Race knowing that this was so much bigger t...

A Life Extraordinary: Exploring Portland
http://mandadorough.blogspot.com/2011/03/exploring-portland.html
Sunday, March 13, 2011. Growing up in Seattle, Portland was always our friendly neighbor to the south. I would drive through it on my way to hear, again on my way to there. In fact I've past through Portland at least 2 dozen times, but I never actually stopped in Portland and I thought there was no time like the present for this to be remedied. Walking down the street the first interesting item we came upon were tons of "food trucks." So much good food and tons of Thai food! We're almost in the door!

A Life Extraordinary: Greetings From the Land of One Week Early
http://mandadorough.blogspot.com/2011/10/greetings-from-land-of-one-week-early.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Greetings From the Land of One Week Early. What have I been up to these last few months? My World Race adventures began in Ecuador. Where I straddled the fake Equator. Then found a home in a small farming town called Conocoto. We worked hard 5 days a week building a church. But still found time to enjoy our off days in Quito. We even made new friends in the park. Our last weekend we journeyed high into the Andes rainforests to hike. Next we were off to Peru. Our first day we eve...

A Life Extraordinary: Semester at Sea
http://mandadorough.blogspot.com/p/semester-at-sea.html
My freshman year of college I became a little obsessed. Somehow, I had come across the Semester at Sea website. It was amazing. A semester of college, on a ship, traveling the world! Um, yes please. I watched the video over and over again. I tell you, I was obsessed, and I shared it with everyone I knew. I had visions of myself on a Safari in Africa and climbing the great wall of china. I even went so far as to plan the trips I would take. Fast Forward to the future. I want to be able to aid in the prepa...

A Life Extraordinary: Hello? Are you still there???
http://mandadorough.blogspot.com/2011/07/hello-are-you-still-there.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Are you still there? Knock, knock, knock. Hello is anyone there? Apparently not me since my last post was months ago! Since then I've roadtripped from Denver to NC and back for World Race Training camp in eastern TN and it was amazing. I have a great squad and a great team! Then, after I got back I quit my job, cleaned, packed and right now I'm sitting in the Miami airport waiting to catch a flight to the first country of my race, Ecuador! And I am so excited!

Scroll down to see more about our itinerary, the airline and our packing list). Teaching in Thailand comes with certain perks like long breaks and having easy access to other Asian countries.

Remembering Joey ...: Psalm 23
http://johnsonsmauiohana.blogspot.com/2009/04/psalm-23.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,. 3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [ a. I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
