It’s Thursday night at 9:27. I just left the team house after sharing my testimony with a group from a high school. A bunch of kids probably thinking they have nothing in common with a “missionary”. I took my shower and now I lay here thinking about the events of the past week and the…

Before everyone starts assuming I have COMPLETELY lost my mind… I did not go down the street in Guiamaca and get a tattoo. Or anywhere in Honduras. And before you assume that I completely lost my mind and made some sort of rash decision let me explain this to you: Five years (or more) ago…

Sister Girl’s littlest kid- Cooper was asked what he wanted for Christmas. He said a video game or two and that he wanted to buy something for someone else. I believe he said “someone poor” or “someone who won’t have things”. Sorry I can’t remember the exact quote. As Jennifer and I talked I told…

I wrote this over a month ago. But it echoes my heart even a month later…. There are moments like this one right now. Sitting on the porch of the big girls yard laundry. Waiting.

First off let me just say this is an honesty post. I just want to tell you how things are in my world here in #theRas. The good. The great. And the not so great. This may be filed under the good but sometimes not so great. Here goes. I'm blessed with a "job" now.…
