Today was a blessed day. We continued to work on the bridge then after stopped by a small bird watching sanctuary to visit a new friend. He introduced us to a new tree called the gumbalimba tree that the locals call “the tourist tree”. When we asked why it was called the tourist tree he replied “because if the tourists don’t stay out of the sun or don’t use sunscreen they look like the tree”. (It looks like it is peeling).
This tree is also used to make the antidote for the Belizean Poison Tree. Farmers often use the tree for fence posts. When it is chopped down and placed in the ground, it sprouts roots and often becomes another tree which doesn’t rot. Likewise the stump of the original tree continues to grow as well.

While standing around sharing his knowledge of birds and trees, he also shared his heart on the difference between religion and having a relationship with God.
Matthew 12:34b "...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
