In between two years… It doesn’t matter how intuitive you think your sense of direction may be, at some point in time, you’re going to find your way to a helpful map standing in the middle of the space you’re in and look for the ⬇️ or the📍on the map with the words “You are […]

Now that you’re up to date, what’s next?

February 27, 2022

January 2022 to now As we started the new year with aspirations to produce a year-end video and give you a glimpse at what was coming next, we ended up hobbling along with some sickness and then needed to dive into our first video shoot of the year, a weeklong shoot with two instructors. Then, […]

Overdue fines?

February 26, 2022

You may not have heard much from us but we’re still here and going. How about we catch you up? If you haven’t caught any of our recent updates in our Ministry Group on Facebook, it looks like we dropped off the map. But that’s not the case. We’ve stayed busy as ever. August 2021-December […]

Quick Update

How are our kids doing? At this moment, the kids are doing well. We’ve kept just enough semblance of sanity with Jack being at in-person student at his school (he only physically goes to class two days a week and does the rest of his classwork from home) and Owen and Kate both being virtual at the charter […]

The great western road trip was AWESOME! Between the privilege of seeing, from the ground, the incredible country we’re privileged to live in and all of the people we were able to connect with we were really encouraged. After the trip west, in which we drove from central Florida to central California and back, we settled […]

Snorkeling or Suffocating (Guest Post)

June 23, 2017

This is a guest post by Matt and Karissa Long. The difference between the two is just a little plastic tube.  Recently I (Karissa) got the opportunity to go snorkeling in the ocean.  I got to see beautiful coral reefs and fish I’d only seen in aquariums.  It was an experience, but I can’t say […]

We’re at one of my favorite places in the USA th We’re at one of my favorite places in the USA this week… @ethnos360 Training near the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
After two decades of living together in a life bui After two decades of living together in a life built on something we believe will last, I’m grateful for who you are to me, today, Bethany. 

I could post pictures of our wedding day or talk about how much simpler things were then, but what I’m grateful for is what’s right now. We’ve been blessed to be built up into something that has permanence even while we increasingly see agonizing splits between relationships around us or near us. 

Some days I wish for us in our early days, living that simple life fueled by youth and passion, but we were meant for more than just twenty years of that. 

So, on our 20th anniversary, my choice of a moment to remember is one of my favorite pictures of us, taken while we were in Thailand, so tired from working and with stress on many fronts whispering in our ears. This is life right now and yet in the middle of it, our awesome God who brings beauty in the middle of ashes, brings you and me the chance to see beauty in each other every day. 

I love you.
