Water and electricity just don’t mix
The picture is almost self-explanatory, don't you think? This is the shower head in our home in Tala, Kenya and remember Kenya runs on 240 volt electricity, not 110 like here in the United States. Depending on water flow, we would have to flip the...
Guest blog…
Pauline will be my "guest blogger" today! (I have added a bit of clarification where necessary to her email) Hi sister, May this one find you in good health and spirit! Today was another public holiday and since i was not reporting on duty i decided to join the kids...
This bed is too short…
Isaiah 28:20 - The bed you have made is too short to lie on. When I read this I immediately thought about our bed in Kenya (in a non-theological kind of way). In a small village like Tala it isn't uncommon to have your furniture made, so we had to have a bed made to...
Walk into suffering?
Suffering - not a subject many like to talk about, but one I have thought about lately. If we know we are going to suffer for Christ as it says in Philippians 1:29 "For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of...

Upside down stars
For all you star gazers out there I'm going to embarrass myself here. The nights in Tala, Kenya are absolutely beautiful. No light pollution to hinder seeing the stars, only when it's cloudy out. The first night I realized this I was looking into the sky and it was...
Wednesday’s Song…
Once I heard this song I knew it would be our "theme song" for The Change Campaign. Change Your World by Chris Muglia reminds me that God wants to use each of us to bring others to Him. It doesn't have to be anything big (or maybe He's calling you to something bigger...
