The past year has been filled with many changes. One of the big changes is that I was unable to make my annual trip to Tecate. In part this was due to the complexities of travel with the Covid-19 “pandemic.“ The biggest reason is because in June of 2020 I received a nasty spider bite, [...]
If you've followed me for any length of time, you will know that I've done a lot of short mission trips. Most of those have been to Mexico which is where I am at today. It is my 7th trip here in 7 years. This summer I won't be coming back with the group I [...]
A friend of mine shared this on Facebook and since I am in Mexico working with the families and children here, in peace and harmony, I think everyone should hear what he said: While the rest of the country discusses and fights for rights, ill-treatment and family problems between two countries, we are in the [...]
Today we all arrived on schedule in San Diego, all 28 of us, and packed the cars and headed for In-n-Out Burger, Target, and then the boarder.

“Build for me an altar made of earth, and offer your sacrifices to me—your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats, and your cattle. Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you.
It was well after midnight. As I laid in bed, I just couldn't calm my mind. Maybe it was the fact that I had 4 cups of coffee in the morning instead of my regular two. I should be tired after having stayed up until 2:30am the night before and driving home from our family [...]
We don't have a fancy budget or promo videos with mailing literature to recruit or advertise what we do.

That is enough. [...]
Who wears your scars?
