“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”   Jeremiah 29.11 Last night, Manno called me to ask if I had the money I owed him for putting minutes on my…

35 years ago today, Prit and I made the most monumental decision ever that would completely alter our future. We moved to Haiti to teach in a Christian day school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We lived in Port-au-Prince for five-and-a-half years, then moved north to the old colonial capital of Cap-Haitian…

I left you all hanging with my last post, but we have wonderful news! Prit and I returned to the airport on Friday morning, praying all the while that we would not be sent back home again due to bad weather. Fortunately, Sunrise was flying to Port-au-Prince and we arrived…

The weather outside has gone from a beautiful, tropical Paradise this week to a rainy, slushy, muggy gray. It sort of matches our mood here lately. It seems that everything we’ve attempted to accomplish results in a lot of pushing, persevering, and slushing through to get anything done. For over…

  Beautiful weather. Beautiful week. Beautiful company. Our son, Gabe, spent Christmas week with us and flew out today. Of course, the time went by way too fast, but we’re beyond thankful for this time with him. Since Gabe had not been here since 2010, our workers enjoyed fussing over…

As I sit in our little den and gaze out our front window, I see sunshine, palm trees, and lots of greenery. Downtown Cap-Haitian doesn’t reveal much about the fact that we’re into the Christmas season either, except for an occasional pedestrian donning a Santa cap. Probably the main reason…

I learned this morning that my brother, Laney, passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. He had just celebrated his 63rd birthday on the 4th of December. Although it was not a shock, one is never ready for the inevitable news that a sibling has passed on. We were…

Today marks a very special day of giving thanks. Yet, every day, giving thanks should be what marks us. Long before a day was set apart for this occasion in the United States, Psalm 95:2 declared: “Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him…

  Last week, we were so blessed to have a great friend of ours travel all the way from Tacoma, Washington, to spend a few days with us. Vic Langel loves missions and spends most of his holiday time from work traveling to other countries like Nepal, Uganda, England, and…
