I heard about this opportunity on a local Christian radio station (K-Love, for you Raleigh folks, 106.7 FM). This collection of songs was created to comfort and encourage the folks affected by the Virginia Tech massacre. I thought others might enjoy a couple of free songs with messages of grace, hope, and assurance. Before May 31, download one to five songs [...]

Abraham died
Who woulda thought I’d find so much confirmation for going to Kenya in Genesis?! Definitely in Acts or one of the Apostle Paul’s letters. Maybe in Exodus, Jonah, or even Ruth. But Genesis?
Abraham died this week (Genesis chapter 25). “Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac” (25:5). Isaac represented all that God had promised Abraham, [...]

What was she thinking?
Lessons from Genesis
Paul has been pondering our return to Kenya since 1994. He’s tried multiple approaches to get us there. He didn’t realize that the adventurous spirit with whom he had fallen in love and married had such deep roots. He has always talked about going back to Africa, but after 13 years of marriage, I’ve learned that [...]

Prayer Team Invitation
Paul and I are assembling a prayer team with whom we can share specific requests on a regular basis. You can (and we hope you will!) pray for us as you think of us; current prayer requests will be updated from time to time on our blog. In the past, I’ve promised over and over to pray for people, [...]
