In the shade of the back porch, the thermostat reads 95 degrees. Our summer is almost over – in just a couple days we will load up the car for the nth time and make the thousand mile trek back to Jackson, MI, our home (for one more year) at the New Tribes Bible Institute.

The weight of sin
This past Sunday we had the joy of returning home to worship with New Life in College Station. It was awesome to see so many faces that we love and join in the worship of our amazing God.

Dreaming of a Warm Christmas
As we boarded the plane in Detroit, the wind chill outside was -9 degrees. That’s 41 degrees below freezing. Today in Dallas, it was 41 degrees above freezing. I love Texas. Rachel and I are excited to get to spend about a month here with our friends and family after completing our first semester atContinue reading “Dreaming of a Warm Christmas”
