Quality Ice Cream!

Recently I took a trip to Tuttle, OK with some friends to visit the Braum’s Farm. I was amazed at the quality in every step of the dairy producing process. They start by growing crops to feed their cows in the healthiest, hormone-free way. Because the milking is done right next to the processing plant, the products can be made, packaged and […]

Seafarers of West Virginia

Jonathan and I got a great idea to make two boats that we could sail on our pond. First we got two boards from Dad that he couldn’t use any more and cut the front of them to a point. We hunted in the woods for some perfectly straight sticks for the mast. Then we […]

Character Correction

Have you ever felt like you are missing something but just can’t figure out what it is? What about in the area of displaying godly character? Do you have a problem with forgetting to apply a character quality over and over again regardless of how much you work on it? In the physical world, I […]

The Rest of the Team

God glorified is man fully alive Every team member from Taoyuan, Taipei, Hualien, Kinmen and Nantou was able to be a part of the retreat in Taipei for Easter weekend. It was a time to remember God’s faithfulness to each of us in the past year and an inspiration to “die to ourselves” and “live […]

Backyard Birding

Along with Easter, springtime is here and I’ve found an excellent method for successful spring birding here in Taiwan. Get up early. Stand on back porch. Look around. Actually it reminds me of some of the first sightings I ever made, at home, from the kitchen window. It was like a photo blind! Birds would […]

Snow Zoo

We love playing in the snow. We tried to think of something we could do in this snow even though it wasn’t deep enough to go sledding or packable enough to build anything. I really wanted to go outside for some fresh air so David and I got an idea to make a zoo! We […]

More of the Team

As simple as it may seem, coordinating “English immersion classes” for the fifth-graders of Taoyuan county is a huge task. Taoyuan city alone is a huge city population-wise and with the country’s largest airport nearby, it has become one of Taiwan’s busiest places. We really appreciate the office staff that work to coordinate our efforts […]

Time in Taipei as a team
