During my travels through Hawaii last June, I attended church in a small thatched roof hut.
We all sang to the tunes of Pastor Laki Kaahumanu's ukulele and observed the words unfold through the movement of the beautiful hula dancer.
A warming experience, that will always stay with me, celebrated with kind-hearted people in the midst of lush vegetation by the sea on the Island of Maui.
To my surprise, I received a Christmas card from Pastor Laki, his wife and his many adopted children and their children... sincerely touching and hopefully I shall return one day....
