A Long Time

So much has happened in the couple months that we have been back in PA after four years in Guam. We're just now getting settled in our new place that has wireless internet, so I'll post more later (I know, you've heard that promise before). Now that it's easier and more convenient. Thanks for your prayers for us as we are adjusting to a new life here during our home ministry assignment.


We traveled to Ocean City, NJ, to see my brother-in-law's group, Glad, in concert. It was great to catch up with him and my sister Heidi, pictured here with Joel and Amelia. We also enjoyed being at the ocean again, although I would have to admit that the Jersey shore is much different than Guam.

My sister Laura and Cole and Erin visited us in July. Joel and Amelia enjoyed reconnecting with their cousins. They really didn't remember them from our last visit here during the summer of 2007.
We went camping at Rickett's Glen State Park (Benton, PA) the first week of August with Grandpa and Grandma and my brother Mark's family (wife Sherry and kids Lauren, Emily, Luke, Abby, and John). We had a grand time, even a visit from a bear who made off with some of our food one night.
Being with family has been one of the BIG blessings of our furlough. Some of the other things haven't been quite so easy. God's grace is sufficient, though, to get us through all of these hoops in life. Thanks for your support during this process.

Goodbye Guam, Alii Palau!

Here is a recap of the final days of our friends Hiob and Leah and their children Micah and Jireh in Guam. They have returned to Palau where Hiob will serve as senior pastor of the Koror Evangelical Church. We all started together at PIBC back in fall 2006 and we have worked together, laughed together, cried together, prayed together, and grown together. Although it is hard to say goodbye, we know that they will be a blessing to the Church in Palau, and we find comfort in the words of the Michael W. Smith song "Friends": friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them. Amen! We had a BBQ in their honor on campus at the beginning of June before the Thai mission team left. Delight posed with Micah and Hiob during a break from barbecuing. He is a fantastic barbecuer. Notice he's even holding the tongs, to a barbecuer what a hammer is to a carpenter. As always, everyone enjoyed the food, the centerpiece of any Micronesian celebration. Before our friends left,

GOOD THINGS HAPPENING 3

 A little background to this story.  I have been a fan of The Waltons from the beginning of the series.  In 2017 I attended the 45th anniversary celebration of the show in Schuyler, Virginia, the small hamlet where the series' creator Earl Hamner, Jr., was born and raised.  Perhaps I can share a bit more about that in a future post. During that weekend in March 2017 I met Reen Christie Bula (a/k/a Tammi Bula), who played John-Boy's love interest Marcia Woolery in the early seasons. Here is a shot of Reen and me, As well as a shot of all the cast member in attendance at the reunion with the exception of Michael Learned who went to bed early due to a play appearance the following day. During the weekend Reen, her husband Gordon and I shared time together, and she shared with me her testimony, how she came to the Lord through the witness of friends (she was working as an RN at the time) and how she saw the sign of Pi in the sky one day which prompted her to check out John 3:14-16

Guilty Pleasure!

Last Friday night the female staff of Pacific Islands Bible College had a Ladies Night to talk about marriage, dating, and relationships with the female students. I stayed home and put Joel to bed. Then I watched the final two episodes of the third season of "Homicide." (We do not have any TV reception here, so the only TV we get is by VHS or DVD). My mom used to ask me why I watched "Homicide" because in her mind it was a depressing show. To me it always dealt with serious issues in a meaningful way (racism against immigrants, the consequences of adultery, male/female work conflicts, etc.), plus the writing was rivoting and the performances were stellar. That was really the last TV show I had a true passion for. I enjoyed having the time to do that, to have some down time to escape from students arriving late to class,; grading papers, tests and quizzes; and dealing with discipline issues as Assistant Dean of Men. Here I present to you a list of my favorite TV dram
