There are two remarkable things about this picture. (1) We made it to church not just on time for the early service but early enough to stop and pose this picture! I guess it isn’t all that remarkable, since most of the kids are self sufficient. But still… (2) Posing this picture was Bailey’s idea, [...]

If all goes as planned, on Friday Southwest Airlines will deliver me to Denver for six days with the Andersons. Most of that time Quinn and Dusty will be on a business trip to an island in the Pacific while I hang out with their five kids. Did I mention the Andersons have five kids? [...]

Pete’s birthday is just around the corner, next Monday, so it’s hard to resist sharing some pictures from the past. I wouldn’t want to single him out as the one I don’t embarrass, would I? So here goes… Nothing embarrassing about this… or this… (well, maybe that shirt) or this… or this… (and you thought [...]

Our kids and grandkids are busy doing life, and every once in a while we get a glimpse—sometimes with direct contact and other times via Facebook and blogs. So I thought I’d share with y’all some of what I’ve learned. Erin succeeded in her first sprint triathalon last weekend: She did great! A meaningful Sunday [...]

“One Little Word” Galatians 2:20 I serve with the pastoral team at Newberg (OR) Friends Church. That’s different from serving on the pastoral team, since I’m not a pastor. The little word with carries important meaning in that regard. The agenda at our Tuesday team meetings often includes brainstorming—you know, “There are no bad ideas.” [...]
