We have had an infant, almost a toddler, living at our house for the last few weeks. They are wonderful, cute, (smelly), cuddly and all that stuff. But what’s the worst thing about an infant in your house? It’s not the diapers. It’s not the sickness. It’s the snot-sucker. I didn’t like them when we …
Why I love humor, the Babylon Bee, and Snopes In our crazy world of extreme echo-chamber paranoia, the Babylon Bee is my online source of satire sanity. Check out these article titles (better if you go to their site to see the pictures). Nation Torn Between Watching Democratic Debates, Sticking Face In Blender. Promising New …
We drove up the mountain last night for a meal in the cool breezes. For some odd reason power was on--I've never seen Port-au-Prince like this before. Was beautiful.
Haiti, Thursday Night June 28, 2019 It feels weird to be packing up to go home already. Here is a short list of what I can remember that we did or took part in during English Camp Leadership Training. But first… There are two big needs here. Sue’s 2003 Rav4 is done for. The head …
(mostly) Only in Haiti… Do people dance in the heat. I get dancing in the rain, but around here, when anyone is singing dancing is the norm. Maybe it isn’t the heat that stops me joining in, maybe I was Baptist too long. Are car horns more necessary than mirrors. 3. Do the dogs love …
HAITI TRIP, June 24, 2019 What a fun day! I got to tell an opening assembly Bible story—chose the one about King David’s 3 friends sneaking into Bethlehem to get him a glass of water while others acted it out. We added some xtra-biblical events like crawling backwards and falling into the pool. Good fun. …
Haiti June 23, 2019 Today is Sunday. I suppose you knew that. It’s about 8am here--something you didn't know. We don’t know yet if we will be going to church. The roads may be safe, or not, in that part of town today. We’ll wait for reports to come in before traveling. Yesterday was a …
Haiti June 22, 2019 Missionaries Lie. That or I’m a bit slow in understanding. It did take me 8 years to get that 4-year-degree.

Haiti, June20 The Exit: We met at the office at 8:30 to put our last minute items in the luggage, do our final weigh ins, and go to the airport. We left around midnight to NYC where we had a 2.5 hour eating rest around 4:30 NM time, 6.30 NY time. Then we had a …
Haiti June 21, 2019 Yesterday I had the most amazing conversation. I met Jabez, a man from India living in Haiti. Jabez came to Christ in India.
