A Truly Blessed Christmas

January 12, 2011

Our dream this year for Christmas was NOT for it to be white, even though we did get a little dusting of snow. Since this could be our last Christmas at “home” for a while our main desire was to spend it with all our children. We thank God for making it possible for all […]

Beautiful Feet…

December 10, 2010

Yes…90 beautiful feet prepared for “bringing good news, proclaiming peace, bringing good tidings and proclaiming salvation” (Isaiah 52:7) to people groups around the world who do not know Christ.

October 12, 2010

I won’t lie, preparing to move to Southeast Africa is NOT a simple task. Lisa and I have had many discussions about “what to take” and “what NOT to take”. I am sure there will be many more of those. Deciding how to use the very limited luggage space is very important but another important […]

Many Members; One Body

October 8, 2010

We were reminded again this past weekend what a privilege and blessing it is to be part of the Body of Christ. We had the joy of worshiping with the members of Waddill St. Baptist Church in McKinney, TX. It never ceases to amaze me how comfortable we can feel in the middle of a […]

Wisconsin Bound!
