On This Shore

Funny title: 'on this shore.'  Sounds more like a new album by Iona than a statement about my location--especially considering we aren't on the shores of anything except the creek behind our house.  Or the Beaver or Ohio Rivers, I guess.  :)

I've been back in the US since June 14th, when I flew to Pittsburgh with four of the nine who'd come to Ukraine for a 10-day visit.   The team was great!   I'll post a pic soon.

Apologies to all who actually read my blog. I've not written much or well in the last month or two!  Always seems to go in fits and starts.  If you are reading this and want to get regular up-to-date ministry/mission reports, leave a comment with your email address, and I'll put you on my newsletter list!

...more later...

home for Christmas!

. . . a million home-y smells . . . cookies, real pine tree, pies . . . and the sound of the microwave humming, covering my Tostitos chips with extra sharp white chedder cheese - it's beautiful to be home for Christmas! :) 

here's a random row of fun family pics
