My sister and her daughter, Jeannette, took Mom for her annual checkup last Wednesday. Mom never likes going to the doctor; at 91 years of age, she is rarely sick. But she likes to go to visit with the doctor. She always comes home feeling like she has had a great time with an old […]
Thursday morning, we were saddened to find Marie had a migraine and Doug had a stomach issue. So after praying for their speedy recovery, the rest of us returned to Warancha to say our goodbyes. We played the cookie game again, which they love. We told two stories: the death of Jesus and His resurrection. […]
Day 3 in Warancha. We knew this would be our longest day with the children, so we were prepared with games, skits and songs. Again, the children greeted us with songs. We performed two skits: The Good Samaritan and Jesus calling His disciples. Once again, the children’s re-enactment outdid ours. Then, while the boys played […]
Another busy day in Warancha and the surrounding area of Awassa. The children greeted us with a song and game as we walked onto the field. They were so excited to see us again. We taught them songs and in return, they sang for us. We played “Minute to Win It,” passed life savers on […]
Selam New. Greetings. How are you? So let me back track to Thursday morning when we landed in Addis Ababa. I had not slept on the 16-hour flight, much to my dismay. Our guide and translator, Alex, and his driver, picked up our 7-member team and 14 suitcases along with all our carryon and went […]
What an experience today! We didn’t have internet access yesterday, so eventually I will go back and recap what we did, but today takes the cake (we’re having fun with our guides and American expressions)! We left the Providence Guest House in Addis Ababa at 7 AM after coffee and warm banana bread made by […]
So why am I excited, you may ask. I am going on my first overseas mission trip to Ethiopia. In the past, I have served in a local ministry and traveled to Acuna (across the border into Mexico). I have traveled overseas, but not on a mission trip. So here’s what’s so exciting. In 1975 […]
Great Aunt Florence–Grandpa’s sister. Born in 1891, Great Aunt Florence was already “old” when I was born. She never married. She loved children, but after only one year of teaching she realized her nerves couldn’t handle it. Instead, she moved to Chicago and sold books. Not just any books, The How and Why Library for […]
Let me introduce you to the creative brain behind Preacha! She is not only an outstanding writer of fiction, but also, a prolific writer of poetry for the soul. For an added treat, hear Wanda read her poetry in her deep rich voice reminiscent of Maya Angelou. watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ckkutyeFJuw#! Where were you born and where do […]
There are those few people who really touch us in life, who make an impact on our outlook. I wrote a while back about the three nonagenarians who have taught me so much in life—my mom, my Aunt Ruth and my Aunt Ilene. And now, my Aunt Ilene is gone. In her 90 years, she […]
