Skiing
Living here in Germany right next to beautiful mountains gives us the great privilege of exploring the mountains. We are blessed beyond measure and thank God every day for the opportunity to be where he has us.
Our Responsibility
Our children need guidance. They need direction. We have a responsibility. Deuteronomy 6: 5-8. They will need you (see video in sidebar or at bottom). It is our responsibility to teach our kids. We can’t expect this responsibility to be handed off to any one other than ourselves. “Impress them (the commandments) on your children. …
I can’t sleep…
so I write. Recently I have had a bad case of writers block. I have seriously tried to write every day, but I end up staring at a blinking cursor. Blasted brain, must need a reset. So here I go. I just finished my next support letter. A little wordy, but I think it will …
If Jesus walked on earth today, he would look like Skylar!
Yesterday, I was in the airport connecting to a flight in Detroit. I was rushing to the other side of the airport when I heard a young man behind me say, “You dropped this!” Then he proceeded to hand me my much loved jacket. When I took the time to talk to him, I met …

Sign of the times
Listening to the radio here on the local pop/rock station I hear a song that is popular come on. Rockstar by Nickelback. In the song there are references to drugs and other things a “rockstar” of superstardom would be tempted with. I sometimes find myself listening to this song but this one day I had …
A foggy road…
Vancouver, Canada Originally uploaded by Abba’s Girl I just read an article written by Chuck Colson. It was rather sobering and sad.
