About 2 hours north of Bratislava lies the small village known as Bojnice which has been featured on the blog before. Enjoy these photos while I share some on-going reflections of my experience here.
I am apprehended by awe and wonder as God continues to use these challenging and unique circumstances in my life (living in Slovakia) to reveal deeper mysteries about the journey from cradle to grave and beyond. As always, the test is to properly understand what God desires to reveal and then to make it a reality in daily life. As I have said earlier in the blog there are many cultural differences between Slovakia and Minnesota. However, in many ways living here is not so different from Minnesota. The weather is quite similar most of the time. The food is also comparable in many respects. All the various forms of artistic expression have their influence in society and culture. Hockey and sports in general are an important part of the cultural fabric. And the rhythms of life flow in much the same way. People raise their children with love and discipline, go to work each day looking forward to vacation and holidays and strive for a better future for their children’s sake.
