Tap-Taps seem fitting for closing this Blog on Haiti. Tap-Taps rule the streets of Haiti like Taxies in New York...except Tap-Taps are insanely  awesome. There really more like buses. I'll explain. 

    Take a 1989 Nissan pickup truck combine that with Sesame Street and Mad Max fill it ful of Haitians and you get a Haitian Tap-Tap. Here's a picture of one. 
    Picture
    The Muriel on the back is famed Wyclef Jean American Musician turned presidential candidate this past election (Think celebrity politicians were an American thing? Think again.)  Every Tap-Tap is personalized by art, most have some type of scripture written on them, In the pic the bottom bumper reads Psaumes 121v1 which is "I lift my eyes to the mountain, Where does my help come from?"


    God's been doing good things here in Haiti. The building projects, the outreaches all the crazy things I've been a part of have been more of a blessing to me than anyone else. I'm glad for the opportunity to serve the living God but more so glad to experience the healing that comes through altruism. I guess I'm just eager to give back to the one who has done so much in my life and given so much for me.... 
     ...The scripture in Galatians where Paul writes "Let us not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" with this outlook combined with  "Whoever starts to plow and looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God."  Its Christians goal to serve this God and not give up, I look forward to serving God in the states away from Haiti.
