Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh

April 22, 2010 The Good Word

We went up Table Mountain Tuesday. Our visitors ended up staying an extra day and a half thanks to the issues with air travel in Europe, and the weather cleared up, so the timing was perfect. And one of our co-workers offered to pay for our tickets to the top, so we were there! Thanks, [...]

If I Could Have This in My Heart

April 19, 2010 The Good Word

Here’s what I’m trying to say. Don’t worry about your life — what you’re gonna eat and drink, what you’re gonna wear. Isn’t there more to life than food? More to having a body than wearing clothes? Think about it. Birds don’t plant seeds or drive thru McDonalds, but God feeds them. Aren’t you more [...]

Beautiful, and More to Come

April 17, 2010 South Africa

We visited another township this morning, and I am wiped! I had the privilege of washing some beautiful feet, some tiny ones and some big ones, and praying for God’s plans to come to pass in the lives of some precious children. Another sixty-some kids received a message of hope and a new pair of [...]

The Beauty of a Little Smile

April 16, 2010 South Africa

I don’t know how I managed to catch this little fella with anything other than a smile on that sweet little face. He was happily playing in the dirt the first time I noticed him. His joy was contagious. Sometimes seeing people who have so little and are so happy challenges me to the core. [...]

April 15, 2010 South Africa

Guys and gals! I mean it! I have three gabillion stories to tell you. We had our first shoe distribution today in a township not too far from the Muizenberg section of Cape Town called Overcome Heights. It’s a very poor area where some 6,000 people just showed up and built a settlement in three [...]

Dear Little Bear OR Last Week’s Top Ten

April 14, 2010 The Parenthood

Dear Bear Bear, We had a really special week last week. I decided to record it here on my blog so that perhaps ten years from now you can come back and read it and laugh with me. I like doing Top Ten Lists, which probably makes no sense to you right now, but at [...]

Travelling Tuesday: A Slice of Life in Twenty Minutes

March 30, 2010 Baby Photos

I thought I’d give you another quick slice of life around here this Tuesday, pretty much because it’s been a busy day and I need to get a chicken in the oven in twenty minutes! Let’s see if I can make it happen… The weather’s cooling off for us now. And probably warming up for [...]

First Words and Hair Cuts OR The Bear’s Headed to Yale

March 24, 2010 Baby Photos

It was a big day around here. For an end-of-the-fiscal-month-nobody-move-until-we-get-paid kind of day, it was a really big day. One day back in February, the Bear came and sat beside me on the couch and pointed at my laptop screen and I decided to take that as a teaching opportunity. I created a new document [...]
