Pre-thanksgiving
Thank you to New Hope Community Church in Midland, Michigan. They opened their doors to us, allowed us the privilege of speaking during church service to present Saved By God's Grace and then had a very delicious Thanksgiving dinner afterwards! We visited this...
Countdown…..
We are 16 days away from getting on a plane and heading back to Kenya. I'm in that state of mind where I want to hurry up and get on the plane, simply to be done with the packing, but on the other hand I want time to slow down in order to spend more precious moments...
Where are we!?
That was the question of the evening last night! But before we get to that let me show you a few photos of our last week or so in Phoenix and our visit with Tarrin in Houston: While visiting Tarrin in Houston we got to see some sites she has wanted to see (but was...
Don’t think about it….
That's what I have to keep telling myself when I start thinking about being away from my (young adult) kids. We had such a good time with them and it was hard saying goodbye. What a blessing they are to me and I'm so proud of each one for the wonderful young people...

Scary thought
There are a lot of scary thoughts in the Bible and I freely admit I've been somewhat gullible over my lifetime. If you are a good talker you could probably convince me of a lot of things. I believe I've grown up some by God's grace and mercy but this sent a shiver...
Cleanliness is next to…..
....well I'm not sure how close to "godliness" we got to around here but we took a stab at getting a bit cleaner today! Friends are having a fundraising/garage sale next weekend and since Tarrin is in Houston and left a garage full of stuff we donated several items...
Quiet times
When the house is loud....I enjoy it When the house is quiet....I enjoy it When the house is full....I enjoy it When the house is empty...I enjoy it I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in...
New website
So sorry for the delay in posting. I have been attempting to get a new website up and running before heading back to Kenya (a BIG thank you to Dave for helping me straighten out the "issues" I always seem to have!). Seems it may be ready for viewing...but please let...
