New experiences at the 2010 WV Beekeepers Fall Meeting

Goldenrod was blooming and Dad and I once again attended the annual fall meeting of the West Virginia Beekeepers Association (WVBA) held at the beautiful Jackson’s Mill facility. Each year beekeepers from across the state gather to glean a wide range of helpful information from the speakers, not to mention the exchange of ideas with […]

First Day; a Full Day!

From Chicago to Guatemala City; from Guatemala City to San Salvador; from San Salvador to Lima! For the team of 50 or so young people, the day started at 1:00AM and wasn’t over until after 11:00PM.

Any government, which […]

Starved Rock Outing

It was great to take a day off work and fellowship together at Starved Rock State Park last week. Here are just a few pictures from the outing.

Off to a Great Start!

Praise the Lord for how He has blessed these first few weeks back in the schools and Bible Clubs! This semester I have started doing a Bible Club near a school where I have taught character for 3 years. One day as I was walking a little girl from school to Club, she asked why […]

“Jehovah” ≠ “Allah”

Despite what you might hear, Jehovah God and what is called “Allah” cannot be the same. After having a good talk with someone who had lived in Turkey and Kyrgyzstan for a while I thought a post of the highlights would do us all good. I am no theologian and I would sure like some […]
