This is the day that the Lord has made…

October 1, 2020

Happy October! Some of you have asked, and I appreciate it, what the results were from the last visit were with the oncologist. “Great!” In a nutshell, there is nothing new to report. All the things that weren’t supposed to be there, aren’t, and the things that were supposed to stay the same did! That’s […]

A couple of months for the books…

July 24, 2020

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,” […]

Some more good news that I almost forgot, but I really want to share!

Mathew Meanderings – Fall 2019 Update

September 23, 2019

Nothing new, is good news this week…

March 29, 2019

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 […]

March 2019 Meanderings

March 13, 2019

Michigan is cold, and snowy. The Bible school ministry is busy. We are busy as parents. The kids are busy. Josh’s cancer seems to be a thing of history. Tamara may have MS, or lupus, but we don’t know yet. The Bible schools need to merge onto one campus. We read the Bible, it keeps us […]

Update on Josh’s Surgery

July 30, 2018

So Monday morning it was. Josh’s surgery today went well. It seems that all the mass was able to be removed. Also, he was able to come home and recuperate here. We won’t hear back from the pathologist, until later this week, so we wait for now, and he rests. We really appreciate all the […]

Urgent prayer request…

July 29, 2018

Last Wednesday, I went in to have “something checked out.” On Thursday, the doctor said I needed to see the urologist “right away.” Then, on Friday, I was told by “my urologist” that since there is a 98% chance that I’ve got what appears to be testicular cancer, I’ll be having outpatient surgery tomorrow morning […]

New (-ish) and Hot!

July 21, 2018

God has been showing His faithfulness and generosity in ways that even I cannot miss! MANY of you were challenged and responded to Tamara’s post on Facebook about things falling apart. THANK YOU! Through some MASSIVELY GENEROUS gifts, we were sent on a scavenger hunt for a vehicle that was “appropriate” for our […]

The story, from where we left off…

February 10, 2015

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 […]
