How Jackson House Lodging came into existence is an intricate tale of God working in the life of a person at a time and in a way that He and His plan became specifically knowable. The year was 1996. As a United Airlines B-767 First Officer, I was on a layover in Guatemala City. There are many fine restaurants there and I had just finished a great steak dinner at one of them. A beautiful night had fallen (one that makes you know the origin of Guatemala's other name, "Land of the Eternal Spring.") I was walking back to the hotel thinking how fortunate I was to have this great career that paid me so well and took me to so many beautiful places. That was when the pivotal moment occurred. Two small children, a boy and a girl, about the age of 7 or 8 approached me, begging. I gave them some money and went on my way. But it is apparent that someone else had a different idea of where I should be going. Refer to the Blog pages for more information.
