Anytime someone asks me, \”What\’s up?\” my general response is, \”Nothing much, how about you?\” That is, in fact, a lie. There is a lot that\’s \”up\”. And no doubt there is a lot that\’s \”up\” with the other person even though their response is likely to be the same. That\’s what it\’s like whenContinue reading “Thankful Thursday: God Knows What\’s Up”

Oh the Irony
We were in a church service the other day when the pastor started talking about working to reach unreached people groups. He said that the church was going to adopt one of the 3,800 remaining \”unengaged\” people groups in the world. He went on to say, \”I don\’t care if we have to go toContinue reading “Oh the Irony”
The American [Bad] Dream
We are \”living the American dream\”. [By we, I mean Richard and me.] We have what people work for and dream of. We have what people leave other countries and move here to pursue. We own our home [or at least we\’re buying it from the bank]. We have a beautiful, healthy baby boy. We haveContinue reading “The American [Bad] Dream”

Not the Best Way to Promote Unity in the Fam
Favoritism at it\’s best.
Thankful Thursday/Journal Entry Combo
It\’s been, well, Thursday. I have been trying to decide all day what I want my Thankful Thursday post to be about. It\’s not that I don\’t have anything to be thankful for. I have a ridiculous amount of things to be thankful for. I\’m just in a bit of a slump. You\’ve been there,Continue reading “Thankful Thursday/Journal Entry Combo”
Unity in Christ
I (Richard) had an awesome opportunity to lead a group doing some disaster relief in Tuscaloosa, Al. I had been with this particular church before and had been impressed with their servant’s attitude and heart. As a matter of fact, the first time we worked together, I was in charge of leading their team ofContinue reading “Unity in Christ”
Lame Missionary Post
You know you think it. When you hear about \”missionaries\” you automatically think of socially awkward couples with at least 6 kids [and one on the way] asking for money. Yeah. It\’s cool. We\’re used to that. But, despite popular belief, that\’s not all we think about [and we don\’t all have a Duggar-size family.]On occassion though, itContinue reading “Lame Missionary Post”
