Good advice
Some of you may remember the recent (unwelcome) visitor we had in our home recently: After my wonderful father-in-law read the blog post he wrote and said "hopefully you can plug up the holes where he came in." I had to laugh at that because I've plugged up (with...
Joy vs happy
Do you see a difference between joy and happy? Are feeling joyful and feeling happy the same thing? Can you be joyful in something yet not be happy? These are questions I've asked myself several times over these past two years while living in Kenya. Some days God...
It’s time to deworm!
Many of you (as am I) are familiar with deworming. However many of you (along with me) may not be familiar with who gets dewormed. Here in Kenya it is a fairly common practice to deworm your kids every three months. So that's exactly what we did. The kids were...
Stack the stones!
Chuck had mentioned in the recent newsletter of a big financial need and if you didn't want to hear about it you could stop reading....I'm saying the same thing here! We are simply expressing the need and letting God move and fulfill His purpose and work. As C4KK...

Not the type of excitement I like
It was quite an exciting morning at our home. I walked into the kitchen and thought a worm was in the corner. Then I noticed a pointed tail, unlike any worm I've seen. Upon further examination, with a broom, I discovered it was a snake! It was very aggressive too,...
Suddenly
Today I was listening to random music on my iPod and Superchick came on with their song Suddenly (lyrics are at the end of this post). I've heard it before but today I really listened to the words and realized how close it hit home for me over the past 2 years. "She...
Organized!
Before: After: Yeah! Now I'm getting a check out sheet for the library books (not very many here but it's a start). Feels good to have things in their place.
Let me get this straight!?
Seems there are no straight lines or smooth surfaces in our area of Kenya. From uneven floors to lopsided doors to wavy walls. From rough grout lines in the tile to cement rough walls to ceiling board that is peeling. It doesn't normally bother me, but then I do...
