Getting Closer
One 11 hour flight and we are back in the same time zone as home. This feels like a big deal and I’m full of mixed emotions.
Friends in Far Places
One of the best gifts from this trip has been connecting with friends across the world!
IT WINKED AT ME!
Welp, the only way I can explain Australia is instead of squirrels there are kangaroos, instead of pigeons there are peacocks, AND FINALLY, people’s accents are so thick sometimes it sounds like they aren’t even speaking English
We are Back in Kansas
I know exactly where the strawberries will be. Everything is labeled in English. Australia is like coming home. A weight I didn’t know I was carrying is suddently lifted. And there are kangaroos and koalas.
Desperately Seeking Service
For the vast majority of this trip, work and life have flowed pretty seamlessly. And then it didn’t. Which led to me doing calls at 1am under a streetlight in the middle of nowhere in the Philippines.
Welcome to the Jungle (part 1I)
The setting hasn’t changed, but I have. The kids and I get our heads right and can now properly appreciate the beautiful island on in the Philippines where we find ourselves. It is awesome in the way people meant it when they said it in the Bible.
Welcome to the Jungle (part 1)
Happiness is the distance between expectation and reality and, as my mother says, largely happens between your ears. This is about how we landed unexpectedly and ungratefully in a paradise we were not equipped to appreciate. The pictures do not do it justice - both because it’s impossible to capture the beautify and because it’s hard to take pictures of ants.
