While I’ve enjoyed sharing about our journey these past 2 weeks (it has only been 2 weeks…wow) I wanted to clarify something that I think is crucial…while some of the things we’ve experienced have been a bit frustrating…letting agents and... by bob | Jul 27, 2012 | Ministry & Mission
Thursday… Yesterday was a good day…we didn’t do much of anything…even the idea of planning something, or driving somewhere seemed like too much effort. At one point we’d decided to walk around downtown Dublin and then go see a play in... by bob | Jul 25, 2012 | Ministry & Mission
In 1985 I bought my first car…more accurately, I bought 1/2 of my first car and my dad bought the other half (I was staying home for my sophomore year of college & needed a ride.) It was a great car…a 1978 Ford LTD…basically a living room on... by bob | Jul 24, 2012 | Ministry & Mission

Every day I think, “I need to take more pictures so I have something to post here on the daily update. And every time I sit down to blog, I realize I forgot. The big news today is that we found our lost luggage….but I doubt anyone wants to see a picture of...

Last night I fell asleep on the couch around 7:30 our time…they let me sleep for about 30 minutes & when I woke up, I was wide awake for the next 2.5 hours. That’s how I was able to get the blog post done for yesterday. This morning, I woke up at 6:00...
