February Prayer Letter

Well, how time flies. We’re moving tomorrow and don’t know how long we’ll be without Internet access at home, so we’re getting the latest one out quickly. Read it here. Thanks for your prayers!

Drew’s volcano

Drew was assigned the topic of “Volcanoes” in his geography class, which, when you think about it, is a pretty exciting topic. So he conspired with Barbara-Lee to make a volcano and set it off as part of the presentation. It’s semi-difficult to dig information out of Drew about “how did your day go”, so […]

An interesting debate on Egypt

After a day with kids and without wife I’m uploading a video to YouTube and answering emails, and I stumbled on an interesting take on the pro-democracy uprisings in Egypt and the Middle East. Here’s what John MacArthur says. Here’s the interview, again, and a response. Here’s an open letter to MacArthur from an Egyptian-American. […]

Photo post: Veracruz

Here’s the complete set of photos from the EBM Retreat in Veracruz: EBM Retreat 2011. If you already looked at the first bunch, advance through the small slides at the bottom to #64.

Back in Puebla

Well, we got back from the retreat pretty wiped out. It’s strange because usually being tired would be from staying up until 1 am playing Rook. But everyone was too tired and usually bedtime was 11:30. Maybe we’re getting old. We had good sharing, Bible study times, I thought. Really, this was almost the first […]

EBM Retreat #2

Well, we’ve had a good couple more days here, and tonight’s the last night. It’s been a good time for everyone to be together, build sand castles, talk, play. We’re grateful to be able to come here and do this. We’ve had good times of sharing and study and singing together. Nothing spectacular, but good. […]

EBM Retreat

Well, we’re here in Veracruz, sitting at poolside, enjoying our free time. It’s been a slavedriver of a conference so far. We were in session until 11 PM last night. Brutal. Ok, that’s because we didn’t start until after 9:30, after getting back from supper around 8:30. Yup, we don’t take our times too seriously […]

Drew’s Greek Class

Drew wanted to know if I could read the Greek in the front of his Gideons NT. Like, duh, who couldn’t ;). Yeah it didn’t really take a genius to figure out it was John 3:16! So that naturally led him to the question, how different is the modern Greek NT from the original? Here […]

End of the day

Well, you know you’re a little past the honeymoon stage when part of your Valentine’s Day outing is spent looking at stoves at Sears (and they were priced much more competitively than we would have expected)! It was a good time and a good day though; some of the highlights: – A breakfast discipleship with […]

Congratulations, Rachel (or, another one bites the dust)

So, it’s not every day you get a phone call from Paris, but today we did. It was my (Tim’s) cousin, Rachel, calling to say that she got engaged yesterday in Pareee (Paris, but make sure you read it with a nasal tone). So congratulations to Rachel and Christian (especially if you didn’t actually get […]
