When I was eight years old, we lived in an old farmhouse in southern Illinois. It had a big yard and a big garden and trees, lots of trees. There were three or four gigantic, old trees in what I always considered to be the front yard. They seemed to stand watch along the road …
When A Princess Pushes A Toyota
It was 4 a.m. The sky was clear and the stars, uninhibited by city lights, were bright and overwhelmingly numerous. I had just heaved two, sixty-pound suitcases down the staircase and into the stone portico. Our carry-ons waited beside them. All that remained before our departure was the quick jaunt up the steep hill, the …
Back From Kenya
The last two months have been a whirlwind of activity, but it has been exciting to see what God has had in store! I want to apologize for not being able to send out any updates while in Kenya. We had no internet access the entire time we were in Kenya and by the time …
Kenya or Bust!
Well, this is it. The last update before leaving for Kenya! The Lord has been doing some wonderful things.

2:22am
So, it’s 2:22am and I should be sleeping, but (obviously) I am not because I am too busy laying awake thinking about the whole TPEH formula and what an exciting position I am in right now because I have reached H. You see, I was praying about the remaining funds that need to come in …

Swahili Challenge – Watoto Wangu Wana Njaa
This afternoon as I was out walking, stirring up my neighbors curiosity and working on Swahili, I think I may have finally identified the method to the madness that is the Swahili course! In the process I found one particular phrase very interesting. The phrase was: Watoto wangu wana njaa. My children are hungry. The …
Swahili Challenge – Matunda
The last few weeks have been difficult. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail except to say that a very special family member has gone home to be with the Lord. That is a confidence for which I am very grateful. He, in his own way and probably without realizing it, was …
