Today was a national holiday in South Africa, so we celebrated!  It was Woman’s (Women’s?) Day and Ceci took Selah on a date, while Asher and I went hiking and Noah had a play date with a girl from his school.  Here are some pictures Ceci took of Selah….

A bunch of Pictures….(Are you a wretch?)

  How do you see yourself?  For the purpose of this blog, I am going to write to followers of Christ.  We have a strange habit of defining ourselves as who we were before we were in Christ.  No question we still sin and still struggle with sin, so please do not take anything I […]

A pictures blog of our recent adventures!

Mark played "PIlate" in a Good Friday play in the Noordhoek Commons.

  So I have been thinking a lot about what is true wisdom.  The Bible of course declares that the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”  I believe this is 100% true.  Apart from a proper honor, respect and fear of God, we can go adrift into many false beliefs. Having said […]

Being a part of All Nations is very humbling.  We are surrounded by amazing men and women (and children!) of God who have made radical decisions to leave behind former lives and come and follow Jesus in very profound ways.  This is the story of some friends of ours from All Nations.  They are traveling […]

Happy Birthday to sweet Ceci! (it’s a Ceci photo bonanza!)

I often joke that Ceci is “not sweet, but she is good” but the truth is that anyone who can put up with me and all of my shenanigans is pretty sweet after all!  Is “sweet” her defining characteristic?  No.  Ceci is good!  She is VERY good!  She is strong, she is wise, she is […]
