Out of My Element

Well, I’m still not through packing and I’m leaving for Pearlington, Mississippi in less than 8 1/2 hours. Should be in bed in the next 30-45 minutes though. We’ll be gone Feb 25 through March 4. Not only will I be out of pocket (and unable to blog) while in Pearlington, I [...]

Praise be to God

Here is a prayer update that I received from the IMB in the “Wednesday Window on the World.”
BANYUMASAN OF SOUTH-CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA (bah-new-MAH-sahn). Your prayers are effective. Since the first convert of one ministry came to faith on September 7, more than 100 others have believed in Christ! Please pray that those who are believing [...]

Learning from my Wisdom Teeth

Today I had a dentist appointment for the first time in an embarrassingly long time. Along with my usual scolding for neglecting to floss, I was informed that I needed all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. A couple already have cavities. The other two will only cause me trouble. They’ve [...]

Today was a FUN day for me and the boys. In order to give Jen a little break from all the duties that she has day in and day out, I took the boys with me to my parents house for the whole day. That included carrying a van full of baby paraphernalia [...]

Sunday Highlights

Party Time!

Today we had about 20 family members down to our house for Caleb’s 2nd birthday party. Caleb and Luke were both on their best behavior, albeit Luke had to take a cat nap to get through it. Jenny made a “figure 8″ shaped cake with a “road” for matchbox cars on it. [...]

Keeping Focus

In these days leading up to our Church’s upcoming mission trip to Pearlington, Mississippi, I find it increasingly difficult to stay focused on the task at hand. One minute I’m making phone calls to get the best price on “Large-Print” Bibles and the next minute I’m looking through my notes, organizing logistical matters. [...]

It’s worth a shot!

To the very few of you that have found your way to my blog, let me offer you a warm “Welcome!” I have decided to try my hand at blogging. In a nutshell, I hope to accomplish three objectives.

Primarily, I hope this blog will serve as a space to help me grow in [...]
