“WHODUNIT?”

November 18, 2013

What do you have with a room full of students and staff dressed in costumes of the 1920’s; in a room electrified with intrigue and mystery? An NTBI social event of “whodunit?” that’s what!! The rich colors, beautiful drapes framing a photography booth, the placement of the palm plants, and the low lighting sent […]

Overjoyed!

October 31, 2013

Our hearts were blessed as we recently met our newest grand-baby who was born in September. He is the third for us – the second child (son) to our oldest daughter and her husband. We were amazed at how much he looks like his older brother in this newborn stage. It was as if we […]

Day of Prayer … Paraguay!

September 27, 2013

Not too long ago Jared and I had the privilege of hosting a Day of Prayer session with our students. It was certainly a joy to pray with these young people concerning the needs of Paraguay and for our friends serving there. An extra blessing was that our guest speakers for that day were Bruce […]

His Ways Are Not My Ways

August 26, 2013

The events of this summer have once again affirmed to me that I am not the Master of my days. God alone is weaving my tapestry and I don’t get to see the finished project yet. I had committed myself to teach VBS again this year in Nebraska but it looked like I was going […]

Jesus loves the little children …

August 9, 2013

In July we traveled to Nebraska in order to teach a week of VBS. It is always a privilege and a joy to participate in their program. As one of the teachers, I take the opportunity to present Christ as our Savior and invite those in my class to believe and accept HIS WORK on […]

Mental Overload

June 6, 2013

The week following graduation the staff here at NTBI had the privilege to participate in a Workshop on sharpening our interpersonal skills. There were several sessions each day and although the subject matter was helpful and humbling at times, there was so much to absorb. We found ourselves being on “material mental overload”. It was […]

A Job Well Done

May 24, 2013

Less than one week ago our seniors marched down the aisle and graduated as the Class of Spring 2013. As I think and pray for them I am still amazed at all that God has done in their hearts and in their lives. Many came with the idea that they knew all about the Bible […]

Tying Things Up!

May 15, 2013

The END OF THE YEAR is always a good time to “tie things up” so I decided to host a card-making party for my Evangelism Girls Group. I knew that several may not be able to attend due to other “end of the year parties” but we put it on the calendar for those who […]

Two Years … an Eternity!!

May 2, 2013

Excitement ran high as the Senior Banquet event arrived. As I thought about those seniors whom we had gotten to know I realized that their physical time with us was coming to a close. They would soon be heading off in many different directions. During the evening many shared that they hadn’t wanted to come […]

Have “Break” Will Travel

April 17, 2013

As we pulled out of the driveway our excitement rose. We were on our way. Spring Break had arrived and we were heading out to visit our girls and their families. And a bonus … was being able to see other family members as well. It was good to catch up with each other and […]
