You Are Here

You Are Here

January 23, 2023

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 […]

We’re just under a month away from the BIGGEST trip Bethany and I have taken since before we were connected with most of you. Let’s see what you remember about that…where did Bethany and I serve way back in 2006-2008? Anyway, I’m going to use a stroke of dad-joke genius and lay out the timeline, […]

He’s preparing to spend time with some of our overseas-based missionaries as they start their furloughs. He and his intern will spend a week in central Pennsylvania towards the end of this month encouraging them in the area […]

After 4,000 miles what could possibly be next?

July 18, 2018

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 […]

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 […]

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.
