“Tell them the good news of Christ from a heart of love and a life of service.” ~ John Piper I am keeping this post short, again, because I know you will enjoy one of the articles from The Sower’s online newspaper. (The newspaper typically changes near the beginning of the month and has a few articles from other web sites and a story from The Sower’s archives.) In his sermon, “I’m Sending You To Open Their Eyes,” John Piper explains the New Birth and how God wants to use us to reach people with the Gospel, including good, practical … Continue reading Open Their Eyes
I placed ten packages on the counter. Mike, the postal clerk, would be helping me for a while to get all my gifts weighed, stamped, and on their way.

Mike, Sus, and Jenny drove to Tallahassee so Jenny could check out FSU, since it is one of the top schools for studying creative writing.

We also walked around campus a bit before heading back home. We stopped in Gainesville and … Continue reading A Visit to FSU and More
Sus joined Jenny and a bus load of students for a history field trip to Saint Augustine. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time visiting some of the historic sites and museums.

A trip to Saint Augustine is not complete without a visit to Castillo de San Marcos. We even saw a cannon-firing demonstration. (If you like forts, we also recommend a short drive south to Fort Matanzas, which also protected Saint Augustine.) In this photo are Klare, … Continue reading Saint Augustine
For about fifteen years, we have gone to Cocoa Beach every winter for a family weekend. The boys were visiting for Spring Break so we were still able to all go. I’ve put together some photos from over the years. If you are going to be visiting Kennedy Space Center or vacationing on the Space Coast, we can recommend some of the different things we have done in the area.
