We drove through gorgeous countryside today. Looming mountains painted against vibrant blue sky, palm trees swaying in the breeze as rows and rows of banana trees buzzed by our windows. The landscape was marred only by the absolute poverty that dotted each hillside. Tin houses stand testament to the fact that Dominican Republic, though beautiful, […]

We made it to San Juan de la Maguana last night around 10:00. It was quite the adventure. The Internet is spotty and I’m only able to get online on my phone so updates may be tough. This is a beautiful country. We’re excited to be here and serve. Here we go!

Tomorrow morning we will board a plane with our children and hop over the blue waters to the Dominican Republic. It’s not a vacation, though Lee and I have vacationed there in the past. It almost makes my stomach churn to think of the exorbitant amounts of food we ate in one short week when […]

Elevator music played gently from the overhead speakers as I waited rather nervously for the orthodontist to walk in and tell me just how much it was going to cost to iron out the mouths […]

“Music. A meaningless acceleration in the rhythm of celestial experience.” C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters As a music lover, a singer and a worshiper in the church, I find myself more and more learning and understanding the art of worship, because it really is an art. Worship cannot be approached devoid of passion and […]

The things I see… I think Jesus loves palm trees more than all the other trees. I don’t know if that’s theologically accurate but I feel like it might be based in some pretty solid Truth. (And it’s probably best if you don’t mention this to the other trees. I don’t want to offend…) […]
