A New Normal
Over a month between blog posts seems a bit “procrastinatorist”. You can tell it has been awhile by how big Kai has gotten! I am fighting the urge to use this post to go on a diatribe attesting to all of the many things that we have been up to so as to prevent you from thinking … Read more
The Girls
As our visit to Haiti winds down, we begin to pack up our three suitcases in preparation for our pair of two hour flights on Tuesday, and I can’t help but flip through my hundreds of pictures from the last few weeks and read through my pages of digital journals, pouring over so many wonderful memories. If … Read more
A Desire To Suffer
The last four weeks have absolutely flown by. It seems like we just landed here in Haiti and to think that we only have one week left is hard to comprehend. Our time here has been wonderful. Challenging, but wonderful. To be able to spend time with our dear friends, Jared and Jalayne, and to get to … Read more
Underneath the Mango Tree
So what happened to the other posts from my week with JiHM? Ummm….I accidentally deleted my notes from the week. I did have several more pictures to share and a few stories, but I will move on as the Lord is working on us anew this week and I feel it is more important to … Read more
My Week @ Jesus in Haiti – Post 1

Obviously traveling with my wife is an improvement. Traveling with a baby is a challenge. … Read more

Before I came to Cancun my sister told me that she wanted me to speak at one of the unwed teen mothers groups about my experience as a mom. I was so exited, this is something that I love to do. For those who don’t know me very well I love helping teenage girls; I … Read more
Week 2 – Cancun
Service or Devotion? It is easy to confuse one with the other. To say, “Oh look at me God, look at what I am doing for you! Look at what I have given to your church, and done for the homeless! Look at how much I gave last year! Look at all these orphans I … Read more
Week 1 – Cancun
I almost feel guilty writing this update from a sunny 80°. Although, while Anna does not agree, I would certainly love to be in the middle of a blizzard! I can’t believe I am missing it! Oh well, there are so many things happening here and I just wanted to bring you up to speed … Read more
Serenity, Courage, Wisdom
Titled “The Ultimate Map” the poem that I derive the name of this entry comes from a very nice gentleman at our church. The title is referring to our need to look to our savior to be our “map” for this life. My favorite part of the poem goes like this: grant me the serenity … Read more
