First things first

First things first

August 12, 2022

We need you to pray! It’s come down to the last few weeks we can wait to make the “go/no-go” decision on this ministry trip to Thailand. We’ve prayed all along that the Lord would make clear to us whether we should go, based on if the right solution could be found. A few possibilities did not […]

Serious and Timely

Serious and Timely

August 21, 2019

I’ve tried to think through different ways of communicating the subject of this post (which was an email) and I’ve sat down a few times to work on it but gotten drawn away to other things. Part of why I’m so easily distracted is that the subject of this is my least favorite part of […]

Update on Jack’s Health

Update on Jack’s Health

April 16, 2018

Jack was born with a deficiency in his immune system. Think of it like he is missing part of it. He was born with the inability to produce ‘Immunoglobulin-a’, part of the immune system that affects his respiratory and GI systems. We’ve known this for the last few years and been able to manage this […]

Please pray, Mayo Clinic Visit 10/10

October 9, 2016

Bethany has been experiencing some issues after a bee sting. Those issues have worsened to the degree that we’re seeing what the Dermatologist said needed to be biopsied the next time it appeared. So, believe it or not, this is a good thing. It means we might get more direction as to what is causing Bethany’s […]

Brazil Bound: The Why

October 9, 2015

Earlier this year, Bethany hosted a group of former college roommates for a 20 year reunion of sorts. These ladies have spread around the world since college to as far away as the Middle-East and Brazil. It was a sweet time to catch up and with one gal in particular, Bethany specially connected. This woman, now […]

I created a little breakdown below of the some of the details of this trip. Our “Sending Church”, High Street Baptist in Springfield MO, has jump-started […]

On the brink of something HUGE!

On the brink of something HUGE!

June 30, 2015

Imagine that your family lives in one of the world’s toughest environments and has lived and died for centuries, worshipping and yet fearing the physical objects around you, eking out a barely livable existence with little hope to ever experience anything else. Imagine you’re given the chance to hear the absolute TRUTH of God’s word […]

We just posted a big Year in Review post on our bl We just posted a big Year in Review post on our blog and to the email list. As you know, a whole lot of life happened in 2022 and it's likely that 2023 will be no different. We'd love to fill you in. 

Take a look at it on the blog OR you can listen to it. Listening is a super-simple way to keep up with us when you can't read. Like while you're taking the kids to school or walking your pup. 

You can find links to LISTEN or READ at my profile site.

To “tend a loved one in decline” - part 2 The To “tend a loved one in decline” - part 2

The beautiful thing is how the light breaks through the fog. If the responsibility, the challenges, the emotional heaviness is the fog, the grace of the gracious high-priest, Jesus, is that light that for now makes the fog glow with incredible beauty and will one day burn off the fog. 

And for now, the wise words of Douglas McKelvey are a comfort:

“Love is wearying in this way, and even we who deeply love the ones we serve, need grace upon grace upon grace lest we despair. For in our giving, we are ever drained and so often depleted. We long for what we are too long without: respite and refreshment. So be our rest, O Christ, when there is no other rest to find.”
