What did that sign say?


Encountered the presence of God, friendly faces, and lots of encouragement this past week during our travels.


Big thanks to Pastors Harley and Karen Kolterman for inviting us to share ministry at My Father's House, and a lovely meal with great conversation afterwards.



Looks like a sign from God to me :) 

Trusting the Lord we are in our final weeks of itineration and we'll be packing our bags and changing our address soon. 


Saturday evening, Stuart and I enjoyed ministry and fellowship with Pastor Illis Perez and her husband Jacob at Fort Wayne First Assembly's Hispanic service. For the first time, Stuart and I translated for one another. Stuart shared his powerful testimony and I preached on Pentecost and missions. 



I got to tell you, there's nothing better than worshiping God in Spanish! Especially with the likes of Nancy Honeytree and this fabulous worship team.



Last Wednesday we headed over to Lowell First Assembly with Pastor Scott (and Brenda) Weinkauff. We always appreciate the fellowship, prayers, and conversations that accompany itineration. That's what makes it worthwhile.


Another sign from God! 

It's time to go, people. Please partner with us today so we can raise the last 10% of our budget.

Let's make a difference together to proclaim release to the captives of drug addiction and to set at liberty those who are oppressed by the sex trade! 

Thank you for your support!

Missionary Monday . . . snowed in

Currently, it is -12 F here in Fort Wayne with over a foot of snow on the ground.


So what to do when you are snowed in . . . 


Well, for one, you play a lot of dominoes :)


I baked a "hootenanny" pancake for Christmas morn. 
I have to admit, this Connecticut girl is a little embarrassed to write "hootenanny," but it was delicious regardless of its name!



Jack the abominable snow dog loves the cold and snow.
Stuart ended up putting him in the bath to melt the snowballs off.


Chocolate and tea for Christmas.
"Keep Calm" "Don't Panic" - are my kids trying to tell me something?


Chocolate fondue, sparkling cider, and poppers to ring in the New Year.


Our backyard this morning.
After which I spent 2 1/2 hours on hold with American Airlines to reschedule Olivia's cancelled flight.


So what to do when you are all snowed in?
Atticus has the right idea:
 "Keep calm and take a nap."

Feliz Día de los Tres Reyes!

Missionary Monday or better late than never

Happy Missionary Monday Evening.
Too busy writing papers all day to post earlier.
#Priorities
Not that you aren't important, but you don't give me a grade.
Well, maybe you do, but that doesn't really count.


Although the weather outside was frightful . . . 
we enjoyed Leo High School's Yuletide Festival on Saturday. 
Sophia sang beautifully like always.


Stuart's mom, Romona, joined us for the dinner and concert.



Singing the Hallelujah chorus!
Sophia is the cutie in the third row up with the green headband.



And since we've no place to go  . . . 
we worshipped at our home church, Fort Wayne First Assembly on Sunday.
