It is so awesome to have 16 people from our home church, Red Willow Community Church, here in Tactic with us. What an encouragement! It’s really refreshing for me to be able to converse with people that I have a history with – not having to begin at square one with every team member. The … [Read more…]
In today’s Edmonton Journal, my family and I are featured on page B3. Amber Shortt wrote an article about us living in Guatemala. She did a fine job. If you want to read the article, you can either buy a paper if you’re local enough, or you can buy it online ($1) as the link … [Read more…]
I’ve known about this for a while, but haven’t had a good picture to fit with the story. Now I do. Impact Ministries had been trying to purchase land for new schools for the past 6 years.

It’s true. True Blue! Amber says I got too much sun today. She’s a wino. Or the opposite of a wino. Exhale. Giggle.
I’ve lived in 15 communities (5 provinces & 3 countries) since I was born. That’s an average of moving to a new town every 2 years. Because of these frequent migrations, I have had to be very proactive in maintaining contact with my close friends. This blog and my website are one way to keep … [Read more…]
I was biking home from the office and decided to try a short-cut that I had taken once before by vehicle. I took the wrong road and ended up at a dead end where you can take a through-path for pedestrians through a gate. The path continues through a beautiful meadow and ends up on … [Read more…]
