I Still Choose You!

June 22, 2021

Jared and I always look forward to summer but in recent years our views of summer are so different. You see, we are looking at summer through different lenses. Jared sees his summer as having projects to do around the school and what it takes to get it all accomplished by a certain due date, […]

Bittersweet Goodbye – Class of 2021

May 16, 2021

Saying good-bye to this senior class is bittersweet due to the limited contact we have had with them since covid hit our nation last year. Our interaction and investment had been limited up until a few weeks ago and now it seems we have all new students since their masks have been removed. But regardless […]

One Of The Guys …

April 26, 2021

Garrett is one of the young men who has been working on Jared’s team. He will be leaving us this summer, so I asked him about his time here and this is what he shared … “It has been a great learning experience and honor to have had the chance to work on the maintenance […]

Smashing Trash …

March 27, 2021

Smashing trash may not seem appealing but it is certainly necessary when the bins are overflowing, and the city garbage truck does not come for another three days. At times, it can become a bit direr finding space in the bins to dump your trash when you are sharing those garbage bins with seven other […]

Cruising in Winter …

February 28, 2021

Jared and his team have been cruising this month of February here in Wisconsin … cruising the sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots around the school property. We have gotten at least 24 inches of snow, if not more … and it has been really really cold! I am amazed at how eager this team is […]

Wondering Again …

January 23, 2021

Thought I would share a short, revised excerpt from our January newsletter this month. ‘As I began to think about writing this month (January), I was mindful of what I wrote last year at this time. I wondered what this new year, 2020, would bring and if my hands would be open to accept what […]

Covid Christmas

December 31, 2020

This Christmas was going to look and be different due to covid. We knew that; it was expected … but little did we know what God was going to do for us! We were able to spend time with my sister, Debbie, who had recently lost her husband the end of November. We were able […]

Grateful Beyond Words …

November 29, 2020

Our hearts are truly grateful for all that HE has done for us this past year. Needless to say, it has not been a very pleasant year due to the restrictions of the corona virus but we have seen His faithfulness. He has sustained us, protected us, encouraged us, blessed us, and has lifted our […]

New Grandbaby … Comes Early!

October 26, 2020

Our new grandbaby decided to make her appearance two months early! Needless to say, it was quite unexpected! As soon as we got word that she was coming and nothing was going to stop her, we literally threw our stuff together and headed out of town. We have not met her face-to-face but all the […]

School in Session!

September 30, 2020

Our Fall semester is happening and it definitely looks different than it did last year! Enrollment in the classroom is down due to social distancing, and dorm rooms are not full. But God’s Word is being taught and not returning void. Our dining hall now encompasses three rooms and two serving schedules and all staff […]
