July 17, 2014

Well, we thought with the conclusion of the busyness of the end-of-the-semester activities that life would slow down a bit, but it hasn’t seemed to.

El Shaddai

April 19, 2014

Although we enjoy God’s amazing creation of winter, we are really thankful we don’t live any further north. Our bodies are a little wimpy after living so many years in the tropics! We are really enjoying the more springlike weather we’ve been experiencing recently, and seeing new life pop up around us, especially here in our new home, […]

Happy Spring

April 30, 2013

We are enjoying spring in the Ozarks, even though the cold weather has lingered a little longer than usual. It is amazing to think that, even with all of today’s technology, no human can change the weather! Our God is still all-powerful and still in control! These past months we, along with John’s sister, have been helping […]

October 21, 2012

As we look back at our time since leaving Brazil, we marvel at how quickly our time of home assignment, from June 2011 through July 2012, went by.

SAME but DIFFERENT

March 1, 2012

As humans, most of us don’t like change; it is hard to face. Even though we have faced many changes this year, we recognize the things that have remained the same: 1) our desire to serve the Lord, 2) our vision of reaching the unreached for Christ, 3) continuing with New Tribes Mission (NTM), and […]

January 2012

January 23, 2012

We have enjoyed the changing seasons with the fall colors and dropping temperatures, and now winter with a little snow. This is the first Stateside fall and winter for us in 8 years, so we are finding it a little exciting! New Year… It’s hard to believe we are already in the year 2012! We […]
