This incident took place on May 2019. I look in the rearview mirror. We’re going on a long drive; just a group of pastors traveling for work away from our families. For some reason I’m always the designated driver. It started in 2007 when my name...
God moves in you. God moves through you. God moves despite you. Yesterday was my wife’s tenth anniversary since she put her faith in Jesus and her life was transformed. She blogged about it here. Make sure you check out Part 2 as well! But this one...

Yesterday I blogged about my thoughts during our longest wait ever at immigration and passport control. It came right after a fifteen hour journey that included Philip being cranky, tired, even having a pretty severe allergic reaction. A long...
Yesterday, our family arrived back in the United States from Brazil. It’s hard to explain what it’s like for a person from a third world nation (excuse me, developing nation) entering the United States and having to wait in line at...
