    Family Update

    Holly and I are still working from home. Holly is one of the persons coordinating when Cru staff are able to enter the headquarters buildings to get materials. She runs occasional errands for her team. I am communicating with and training technology leaders in the U.S. and overseas over video conferencing. Both of us are…

  • Dress up like Annie

    Dress up like Annie

    Back in May we dressed like characters from the Annie musical up for a friend’s birthday party. Rebekah made the birthday girl (not pictured) a Miss Hannigan costume and she loved it. We had a great time. I was sweating a lot, and the skinhead wig came unglued immediately. Doing something together as a family…

  • Back to School, but Different This Time

    Rebekah and Julia headed to college last weekend. Holly and I are so excited they are in college, and at the same school (University of Florida). At the same time, they are not with us. We are empty-nesters now.  That will be really enjoyable soon, but right now it is difficult. It is almost like…

  • Help for Prom

    Prom is coming, Julia was asked to go, and the exciting preparations began. We quickly needed a dress, some shoes, some other accessories probably, and a flower for her date. Shopping for a dress and shoes began in earnest, especially from her mother. But wait—this is a date and Julia has only gone on “group…

  • Julia’s Mission Trip

    Julia participated in a mission trip to Costa Rica with her school July 17-25. They started preparing for the trip before the end of the school year. They wrote their personal testimonies, practiced skits that didn’t need dialogue, etc. She enjoys acting in plays, but performing to a different culture was a stretch. She learned…

  • She chose University of Florida

    We are pleased that Rebekah made a decision and chose to attend the University of Florida in the fall. She is still deciding on a major. Holly and I are “not from around here” so did not grow up loving or hating the Florida Gators. Friends advised us to visit a campus ministry at the…

  • Rebekah and Colleges part 2

    Rebekah has received a decision from all 11 universities to which she applied. (I don’t recommend applying to so many.) She also won a National Merit Scholarship which some universities will accept. You probably remember your days as a student and how much you learned that had nothing to do with the subjects you studied.…

  • Rebekah and Colleges

    Rebekah graduates from High School in the Spring and is having a challenge picking her top 2 or 3 colleges. Like her father (!), she has a hard time narrowing down the choices. She has done extremely well in school and on the ACT & SAT tests. We are very proud of her. We also…
