Red Letters

I’m getting Facebook and Twitter messages from my friends saying they’re not sure they believe me about the 3 inches of snow we received last night. Here’s some pictures to prove it! There was also a sheet of ice for my car to ski on as I took the kids to school this morning. Gotta…

I'm still getting my head screwed on right after being home from Ethiopia. Jet-lag takes a toll on you but so does the adjustment of being around children who are desperate, hungry, and without much hope. Slowly, I'm getting back to normal. I have great news to report: We already have our first Ethiopian orphanage…

I tried to upload a photo album to my blog, but Facebook proved to be much easier. Click here: Ethiopia Photo Album to view the photos from the trip. Can't wait until we're there together in the Spring!

When I'm home, I'll upload an album. Until then, I wanted you to see a few.

By noon on Saturday I'll be home…hopefully in enough time to catch some of my boys' soccer games! Can't wait to post more pictures and stories for you! Thanks for your prayers!

We’re about halfway into the trip, and things are going mostly as we expected. Back in the home office, we look for all sorts of criteria before we expand, but when you hit the ground, you find that what’s on the schedule doesn’t necessarily happen the way you planned it on the whiteboard in Colorado…
