First Sermon in Months

I cannot express to you how good it felt to have the opportunity to preach today.  I preached a message I’ve preached several times in the past from Psalm 126.  As I’ve joked before, what I lack in preaching skill, I make up for in enthusiasm!  The rest of this post is directed toward [...]

This is so cool!

I was contacted, via a blog comment, by Derwin and Faye Creech from Raleigh, NC, who knew the family of one of our missionary friends now serving in Africa.  Long story short, they asked if they could pray for our family… check out this post on their blog from last Monday.  Thanks for praying!

My Spanish at this point

Okay, no laughing. Jenny has encouraged me to follow the lead of our of our fellow missionary friends (thanks to Jessica for the idea) and write out a paragraph in Spanish to see what I can get onto paper (or a screen as the case may be). No laughing if you know [...]

Training Event

My Strategy Associate, Steve King, came in yesterday to be with us in a two day training event.  Yesterday afternoon was the first session and then we’ll be together again this morning for the rest of the conference.  Steve, and his wife, Paula, did an excellent job… I felt the information was good and well [...]

Fiesta de Complemento Directo

In about  10 minutes a couple other students are going to join me and Jenny at our house for a “Direct Object Party”.  While I did make coffee for the event, this party centers more around Jenny teaching us how to properly use and apply the direct object in the Spanish language.  I am actually [...]

A Bird in the House

I don’t want to exaggerate so let me say that I don’t think that a bird comes in our house everyday.  That said, I can’t think of a day in recent memory when we didn’t have an aviary visitor!
Why buy chicken?

Coming out of the Kinks!

As my mom would say, I think my family is “coming out of the kinks”.  While Caleb and Elijah still have a slightly “spotted appearance”, our family seems to be doing much better.  I have no real headache today and Jen’s is pretty mild.  And while we’re a bit sluggish, it seems awfully good to [...]

Prayer Updates

We are doing some better today… though we’re still battling the headaches from this virus. It is definitely a tough one. Thank you for your continued prayers.
More importantly I wanted to update you on Madison, the one month old baby of our friends in Fayetteville, NC. They are back home and have [...]

I just sent this email to our MinistryPartners:
Dear MinistryPartners,
Thank you for praying for us this week.  It has turned out to be a VERY trying experience for us.  Since my last email, some of us are better and others are worse.  Luke seems to be well.  Caleb and Elijah seem better other than a slight [...]

An Overdue Post

I had somehow neglected to post the final installment in our stroller fiasco.  After much trouble, we are the proud new owners of a functioning double stroller!!!  We are so thankful to Gibson Baptist Association in TN for bringing the stroller with them on their recent mission trip to Costa Rica.  It did have a [...]
