Most of you know that, as of last year, we are a homeschooling family. Educating our children at home has been a wonderful journey of learning for all. For me, that education has included lessons on humility, time management, patience, and so many other things that I couldn’t possibly list them all here. Hopefully my children … More A Peek Into Our School Day
Life has been busy the last few weeks. I’ll try to summarize below: The Desiring God conference was an incredible privilege to attend. I flew up there with a group of nine from To Every Tribe.

Another team has journeyed to Haiti in order to assist with some projects and continue to build relationships with the Holy Bible Church and the surrounding community. Jeremy is on this trip, as well as several other men, most of them mission trip “veterans”. I don’t have all of their names, but when they return I’m sure Jeremy … More In Haiti Again…
