I had been wanting to see him since nearly 6 months had passed since we were face-to-face. Since my mother’s remarriage and our subsequent move to Charleston, SC, I now had about a 4 hour drive between me and my dad. If I can just hold out for a couple of weeks, I’ll see him [...]
Bad hearts.
Tuesday, 3:00 pm – Mama Ima’s kids show up for a visit as Mama told them both Dana and I would be at the house that afternoon.
Tuesday, 4:30 pm – The kids finish pizza, ice cream and a studio tour before heading home.
Tuesday, 6:00 pm – I notice out of the kitchen window that [...]
… now, you gotta get yourself out of it.
I hate that saying. Don’t know if I’m not supposed to say ‘hate’, but there you have it. The phrase has a certain philosophy in it that is isolating, prideful and all-around self-reliant. When you belong to God, how’s that working out for y’all’s relationship? Nuts, [...]
As I sat in our daily devotion the other day, I noticed something peculiar: a handful of single missionary women and not one (ZERO, NADA) single missionary man, much less a handful of them. So, I looked at our branch poster. Across Tanzania and Uganda, we have twenty single missionary women serving. [...]
This post was intended for this past Tuesday. Technical difficulties prevented it from happening…
Day 3 – Your world becomes a whole different place without electricity. It has been over 72 hours since ours went out. Stuff in the freezer is almost thawed. Teenagers next to the office ask to charge their cell phones on our [...]
Weird combination, huh? Maybe. Maybe not. I say that because that was me. I got Theo when I was 26 and just beginning to again acknowledge God in my life. Theo has been there through some of the biggest parts of my life: my return to God, my marriage to Dana, our call to the [...]
Well… Friday I drove into town only to notice that the A/C had quit working. The fan worked but out came only muggy air. That’s not a good thing for a six-days-total journey to Nairobi. Especially with an 8-month-old. So, I took it to the garage first thing this morning. They pulled it up on [...]
I’m uploading a new photo gallery Dana put together from our 5-day Kinga recording journey. By the time you read this, it should be ready for viewing.
P.S. Most of the pictures have been geo-tagged, meaning you can see on a map where they were taken.
You mean more to me today than ever before. On this day four years ago, I thought the same thing.
I love you.
Happy Anniversary.
We have now been back in Tanzania for five months and oh, how that time has flown by! But it hasn’t been without progress. Literally, we have spoken to you about vernacular media and Jonathan’s role for years now. The milestone of the start of actual media production is finally about to pass and you [...]
