    A wave and a smile

    We have arrived in Guatemala City and on the way to our destination.  As we sit in traffic we noticed the faces of other people on the bus.  Like most cities I’ve been to, the people sit quietly alone with their thoughts. However, these people seemed so sad! So we started waiving at them and…

    Tecate, Mexico – FCA

    We don’t have a fancy budget or promo videos with mailing literature to recruit or advertise what we do. Probably the greatest advertisement we own is – ‘believe in what we do rather than what we say’.But the greatest thing we believe and trust is simply this: ‘Jesus + nothing = everything’… That is enough.…

    Friendship – Fire & Ice

    Yesterday I posted about a friend’s God moment.  What I didn’t say in that post is that I had a God Moment of my own yesterday.  Let me just begin by saying I’m so thankful that I had the day off because I needed every minute of it to prepare for the next three weeks…

    What are you most disappointed in?

    “What are you most disappointed with in your life?”  That question was asked during our Men’s group this morning.  It’s a loaded question. There are lots of things that disappoint me about my own life.  Sometimes I’m disappointed in some of the decisions I’ve made regarding handling of money.  There are relationship decisions, some of…

    A New Year, a Cup of Coffee, a Box, and a Mission

    Last year at this time my wife, Gail, and I decided to take a trip to Blowing Rock, NC and we spent New Years Eve and New Years Day there.  It was a special time for us to get away and plan for the coming year.  I had no idea what it would bring, but…
