August 16, 2016

At the age of sixteen I met a girl who intrigued me. She asked some serious questions on our third date, questions I’d never before been confronted with. The question that stopped me in my tracks was when she asked if our relationship were to become life-long, would I consider being a missionary. In my […]

We won’t ‘fly you to the moon…’

July 4, 2016

The Old Days I recall hearing horror stories of missionaries traveling to destinations by ship. They certainly were not the cruise lines of today. –Some journeys took as long as two months; some of those journeys were taken on vessels that called in question their sea-worthiness; and some of those missionaries who journeyed on questionable […]

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

April 21, 2016

What’s wrong with this picture? Graduation time is just around the corner and the job market will be swamped once again with high school & college graduates vying for available positions.

Whacked out GPS

January 30, 2016

For some unknown reason the GPS on my phone has a mind of its own. Numerous times while traveling an Interstate it instructs me to exit in the middle of nowhere only to tell me to get back on the highway I just got off. I don’t get it. Maybe it just wanted me to […]

Just Imagine

New Tribes Mission has been declaring Christ to the nations for more than seventy years. […]
