A couple of months for the books…

Well, we have officially kicked off the much needed ministry partner development time! We’ve been looking forward to this time when we can dedicate our energies toward connecting with new partners and reconnecting with long time partners. I know that we are not alone feeling that things are not normal, in America. “Quarantines” and “protests,” […]

Nothing new, is good news this week…

I met with my urologist today, and he walked through the door with a smile on his face. He said, “Well, it looks like I’ve got nothing to say to you right now.” Today marked 7 months since my testicular cancer diagnosis. To commemorate the occasion, Tamara and I went to see the doctor that […]

What’s going on with you guys?

Well that’s a loaded question!  A lot has been going on with the Mathew family in Jackson, Michigan.  And that last sentence may be an understatement.  Life has been pretty exciting for us as of the last six months!   We have added another life to the menagerie of noise in our house, and Jonah […]

The story, from where we left off…

We made it into October, and Josie was going back to school.  Tamara was really beginning to enjoy the last few months of pregnancy, feeling good and getting set to make things baby-ready.  Then she said she’d had a headache for the last couple days that she couldn’t get rid of.  So she went in […]
