Another positive note
We donated my dad's clothes to a shelter (West Midland Family Center) and it felt so good knowing his clothes were going to help another man in need. As you can see from the second picture, he had very little. The two boxes on the floor and the laundry basket were the...
Personal note
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Acts 2:21 "For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit." Ephesians 2:18 These verses gave me...
A place to rest our heads!
How many times have we driven pass this "artwork" and never stopped? But today was the day. Tarrin just started driving when Chuck pointed it out, so we turned around and decided to take some pictures. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. I drove in the morning...
Homeless but not hopeless
We visited The Jonah Project. Here Patrick, Mary, Jeremiah and Sara have been blessed with over 35,000 sq. ft. of building for The Project. They are currently getting the inside ready for a church, dorm area for women and children, computer area etc. We heard story...

Final thoughts
Our friend, Robert, came to Kenya for a couple of weeks last year (during our August 2008 trip) to help at Nice View Academy/Orphanage and to witness the poverty we experience in Kenya. While he was at Nice View Academy he helped hang mosquito nets, serve dinner to...
Feet
Weird subject I know, but everyone has them - some people have problems with theirs others don't even think about them. As in most places, boys are rough on their feet. Here at Eldama Ravine the boys were playing football (American soccer) and, as usual, many only...
The simple still works
I was talking with someone today about all the new inventions that have come out for babies. My youngest will be 18 in August so it's been 18 years since I've purchased baby things. But we were talking about the carriers for babies and how many different products...
