Another year has gone by and neither Sharon nor I are in our early 20′s anymore. We tried to make her first birthday in our new home special by learning Thai in the morning and then going out to eat at our local hospital food court with a bunch of our Thai friends. According to Thai custom we paid for the meal ourselves. Not sounding like the way you spent your 25th birthday?
Later that day we went to a quiet afternoon tea at a local resort and went to the mall to watch a movie, which is one of Sharon’s favorite things to do. It was actually you guys who made the birthday special by (more…)

Below are some pictures from our time in Traverse City, Michigan. We enjoyed a brief get-away there to mark our birthdays (Sharon’s is June 10 and mine is June 27). It will probably be our last opportunity before we head to Thailand.

Last night we went to the beach to celebrate Sharon finishing her Cherokee analysis. It was great to walk along the boardwalk, splash in the waves, and feel free at last. Here are some pictures:

We have been in Virginia with my brother Sam and his wife Kari since Thursday. This morning we presented our ministry at South Norfolk Congregational Community Church, the church they attend here. Tuesday is Sam’s 23rd birthday, so we’re very excited to be here for that as well. While here we’re doing what we do on the road: talking to people about our ministry, handing out our prayer cards, spending time with family, and Sharon is stealing as much time as possible to work on her Cherokee write-up which is due TOMORROW!!! She will likely be pulling an all-nighter tonight and then be exhausted in the morning.
This coming Friday we head to central Virginia to visit some very good friends and then will drive on to Tennessee on Friday. Please pray for Sharon as she finishes up her paper and for safety as we travel. Thank-you.

I can’t believe that Suzie is eleven years old already. When she was born in 1998 she changed our family’s life for the better in more ways than one. Now she’s talking like crazy and has such a little personality. It’s great to see her grow up.
Suzie was looking pretty nervous toward the end of the day. She got up from her chair and began clicking her heals on the floor just as we finished eating our cake. When my dad asked her what was wrong she responded, "PRESENTS!"

Sharon baked me a cake for my birthday! She worked on it all Friday morning at her mom’s house. Can it get any better than that? Well, I actually met like three people for the first time at my own party, which was the icing on the cake so to speak.
