http://roamingshepherd.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-naming-of-xandalf.html
My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Sunday, August 2, 2015. The Naming of Xandalf. At some point in the course of the one week mission, someone in the group declared that there would be a "Spanish Word of the Day." It so happened that the word on this most special of days was, "Zapatos", the Spanish word for shoes. A couple of hours passed and it was declared to now be verbal pop quiz time. And so. the man whose name was about to change opened his mouth to give voice to that name. It should be noted her...

My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Friday, June 22, 2012. Fishing With Frank (How He Changed My Life). My college prof. in his element. I attempted to send you a note around 10:30 this morning, but it looks like it didn't send. I apologize if this is a duplicate note! You have been very influential in my life. I often tell people about my college prof that would call me and wake me up in the morning to tell me that it was important that I came to class! Our faith has been stretched. we have learned...

Back in the United States: re-entry. My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Sunday, August 28, 2011. GUATEMALA 2011: (22) Nunca Cansado.forever. Have you ever wondered if what you do really matters? We have a chance to make. Look what has been done so far. completely by the donations, time, and personal labor by individuals. A labor of love to the least of these. from desolation, provision is built by block, mortar, and willing hearts. Mimi's House, view from Team House. At Catalyst, there is talk of "circ...

Roaming the Countryside: Our Home in Sidney (Some Assembly Required)

Back in the United States: re-entry. My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Saturday, January 7, 2017. Our Home in Sidney (Some Assembly Required). I stood in the street looking at our new house. It was only four days since Christmas and reflections of that long awaited night in Bethlehem illuminated my heart as I gave thanks for my family inside. The day had been long, friends and family had shown us love, and finally we were home again. Moving forward always involves leaving things behind. The cost o...

Back in the United States: re-entry. My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. GUATEMALA 2012: (7) Two Hats and 100 Hours. I can picture myself scanning the crowd for familiar faces as we exit the terminal into the ordered chaos of vendors, reunions, and men wearing white Guatemalan Cattleman hats. I will smile as my eyes meet familiar faces that have watched as my life transformed. At that moment, I will know that we are in the provision of God. As the wind blows the dust through the...

My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Saturday, March 31, 2012. This is JERICHO: (3) A Zebra, A Diplomat, and A Recorder. We practiced our MIGHTY SHOUT today! I heard the car-doors closing as I sat upstairs on Facebook. I closed the monitor and peaked through the doorway of Caleb's room where I had a view of the driveway through the window. They were here. Could this be the answer? In my house, that is so cool! Caleb and Aleksandra were sitting on the couch watching as I began to make faces and voices, mi...

My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Sunday, January 29, 2012. Sterling Mei: (9) Sky Lanterns, Orchids, and Pandas. Cupcakes to die for! Dreams, Beauty, and Life. Translation: exclamation of excitement, appreciation, and your general characteristic of you-rockedness). Kayci and Shawn Roh Working their MAGIC! These seemed kind of perfect for this moment. I am convinced that God will take care of the big things in life, all we have to do is have tiny faith that He will provide. But you need to know that wi...

My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Sterling Mei: (15) Abandoned No More. She is being held by her mama right now. The room smells of baby lotion and happiness. I can hear her breathing as she surrenders to closing her eyes, relaxing her face, pulling her thumb into her mouth… and sleeping. Have you ever watched a baby sleep? Have you ever watched your own baby sleep? Today was our first full day together, and it was a wonderful day. Do you want to adopt this child? While we ...

My Views on Family. To Kill a Mouse. Saturday, April 28, 2012. The Sound of a Heavy Rain. Go and look toward the sea.". Claude Monet: Water Lilies 1916. We purchased this oil reproduction from a consignment store over a decade ago. It came from room 1122 in the Waldorf. The hotel had sold a stack of these during a major remodel. It has hung over our fireplace in three separate homes. It has always been one of my most prized possessions. Like Elijah, and then act. I felt as if I were opening a time capsul...
