In Need of a Trusty Steed.

November 12, 2017

For nearly a year, I imagined driving my family out of the capital of Guinea to where our future home would be, like an astronaut heading out into a new frontier (but with a family). As that moment came to a reality, certain details dashed my dreams. I did not have a drivers license and […]

Sicap Family

May 11, 2015

After 8 months of living in Dakar, Senegal, we have moved to a new neighborhood. We moved for a couple reasons but mainly to be closer to where our church gathers and to be closer to our host family. At first, the idea of moving didn’t sound that exciting. We had grown quite comfortable […]

Bakeries, Bilinguals, and Bad Missionaries

October 17, 2014

Several mornings a week, after waking up and getting a shower I walk outside and cross the street to the bakery. The bakery on the corner of our street is one of many places that I can buy baguettes (a long, narrow loaf of French bread). We eat pieces of baguette from time to time […]

What do you stand for?

January 23, 2013

5 days out of the week I am driving to work at 3:15 AM. I decided it would be good for my soul to listen to the Christian radio station as I drive in every morning. After all, their motto is “encouraging and uplifting”. So I’m thinking, “yeah that’s what I need at this time […]

Spiritual Forces

August 20, 2012

It was the last day of camp and I had divided up my Bible class with my Sister Elise. Elise took all the girls and I took all the boys. They needed a change of environment and more importantly they had a lot of deep questions that needed to be addressed. So there we were […]

A quick prayer blurb!

March 22, 2012

Towards the end of last month Cathren and I began to make plans to visit her grandmother up in Central Pennsylvania. We had planned to visit her during the first week of March. As the time grew near we found ourselves swamped in other engagements and decided it would be okay to postpone the visit […]
