Well, we made it off. Thanks to the help of some wonderful friends we managed to leave College Station and make it up to Denton, TX on Friday night. We hung out with my mom and grandma Saturday morning, then left around noon for the twelve hour drive to my brother’s house in St.Louis, Missouri.Continue reading “The Move (part 1)”

Prayer Cards
Well, tonight was our last church night before we leave. Of course we have mixed emotions; we will miss you all terribly, yet we are so excited to get going with this thing. We were able to print out some prayer cards and give them out at church, but if you didn’t get one (orContinue reading “Prayer Cards”
The Time Has Come
It really wasn’t until I was riding home from work yesterday that the thought occurred to me: there’s no turning back now. If yesterday morning we wanted to change our mind about this whole thing, we could. But that’s the difference a minute makes. At 3:59 Rachel and I still had our jobs; at 4:00Continue reading “The Time Has Come”
Missions Meeting
Update: We are grateful to those of you who were able to make it to our meeting. Rachel and I certainly enjoyed the chance to share our hearts with our church, and we look forward to what God has in store for us. Tuesday, July 28 @ 6:30pm we will give a short(ish) presentation aboutContinue reading “Missions Meeting”
How can they hear?
“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” Romans 10:14 I want to share a quote with you. This was said by Ekapitaa, who lives inContinue reading “How can they hear?”

The race will be Saturday, April 18th at Tiffany Park in Bryan. Go to the website for more information and toContinue reading “Run for Compassion”
Some things are convicting
Not long ago Rachel and I received a letter from our Gospel for Asia missionary in India (if you haven’t heard of GFA, go here and get your free book). As a native missionary, he has taken his family into the darkness of his region and faithfully followed Christ in his calling to preach theContinue reading “Some things are convicting”
This is not our baby
Just so we’re all clear…No, Rachel and I are not pregnant. This little baby belongs to some friends of ours, and we are incredibly excited for them. Not only are they awesome friends, but we have seen them trust in the Lord and wait on him for this very moment, and we rejoice with themContinue reading “This is not our baby”
Hurricanes & Perspective
Last week our church set up as a shelter for people in the Beaumont/Galveston area trying to get away from Hurricane Ike. While the circumstances were terrible, it was definitely a blessing for our church to get the opportunity to pour our energy and resources into meeting these people’s need. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing theContinue reading “Hurricanes & Perspective”
The Man Himself
A friend of mine wrote something recently that reminded me of this experience, so I figured I’d take the time to write it out. The following is true; just ask my grandma. Back in February my mom, grandma and sister came down to College Station for a weekend visit. Being the good son/grandson/brother that IContinue reading “The Man Himself”
