Because of security considerations for us and the people of the village, I will not mention it by name. The purpose of the trip is to conduct a three-day medical and … More Prayer for Oaxaca Trip Nov 7-19
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

We arrived Tuesday night and have been busy unpacking and organizing the house since then. We want to thank all the people who have helped support us by praying … More Finally in Texas!
I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. -Maya Angelou As the days grow short in this old house it seems as if memories lurk in every corner, awaiting the moment that I least expect them to show themselves.

I have been back from Haiti two weeks now. Things are always muddled when I get back from Haiti. Hopefully my thoughts have gelled enough to put some of it down on paper(digital paper anyway)… These people have really grown on me.
