  • Class Trip to DC

    Julia’s class left yesterday for Washington, DC. We all miss her. It is so quiet at home.

  • “Sound of Music” Auditions

    Auditions for “The Sound of Music” drew many aspiring actors and actresses from the girls’ school. High Schoolers down to 1st and 2nd graders were hoping for parts. Julia gets to play Berthe, one of the nuns. Rebekah already has a role of working backstage.

  • Pastor Training team flies to Africa

    George M. (Kenya) and George B. (Ghana) were glad when our staff team came to their countries last week. They want to see African pastors trained to help reach not just their countries but the “Sahara Belt” for Christ. This training will be done on mobile phones so the pastors can continue to minister to…

  • Karmann Ghia potential

    The photo doesn’t answer the questions, it just raises them. Of all the cars you could drive, why this one? Does the owner plan to fix it up? Are there some great stories involving this forlorn Karmann-Ghia? I spotted this from my 2nd-level bus view on the outskirts of Golden Gate park in San Fran…

  • About the Grass

    Someone asked us what was important to our neighbors. Holly observed that the neighbors really value how the grass looks in front of the house–theirs and ours. (Right now ours looks pretty good though there’s always room for improvement. ) My thinking is, I need to remove the barriers to friendships. (good grass is relatively…

  • Daddies and cars

    This week I had to jumpstart my car. Dead battery. No big deal–I knew it was coming so I wasn’t surprised. When Holly was helping me jump it, my daughter came outside. I yelled at her to get back because of the slight chance the battery might blow up. She responded by saying she wanted…
