Pictures: I keep forgetting!!!


Here He Is

Finally I have been able to see my nephew Tate. Here are two incredibly cute shots of him. We are having a blast although it is alot easier for me as I am just the uncle and when he starts crying I can just let Mommy handle it. Never the less, I love him. I didn't know how he would react to me or how I would react to him but no doubts now. I am in love. When he sees me and smiles I melt.
Kenny and Jo are doing good. It is so fun to watch Kenny with Tate. He is a great Daddy and Jo is a great Mommy. Tate is so blessed to have them.

Forgot the picture: Here It Is!!!!!!

Congrats to Brad

I just received a special message from my good friend Brad. Brad, a self-proclaimed monk and bachelor for life, is getting married. Leanne and I are so pumped. Brad has come to visit me twice in Taiwan and has been very supportive of me in my choice to live here. I love him. I don't know Helanna yet but look forward to meeting her. Here you see a picture of Brad and myself playing Chinese chess. I bought it for Brad a few years ago and he adores it.
Brad, if you see this, we love you and wish you God's greatest joy and blessings in the times ahead.
From a former monk and bachelor and a Lesser Brother of Zion.

Merry Christmas


This shot is a little old but is a good picture of our church. In it are people from Canada, The USA, Finland, Australia, England, South Africa and Taiwan. I think at Christmas I remember most that Jesus didn't just come for me but for all the people of the world. This picture reminds me of this.
I pray you all have a blessed Christmas and New Year.
Kenny and Jo and Tate are coming. Yeah!

The Darkness


I took this picture while playing with camera. We were at a conference for missionaries, some of whom we are partnered with. It was a great weekend although I had to sing and because I had a cold it ended up the cold has lingered all week. I am just starting to get past it now. I just loved this picture. I don't know why. What do you think?
It was great to see so many missionaries and hear their ministry stories. I know some and realize their lives are very much like mine but they possess a certain drive which pushes them beyond their own security onto deeper things. I have been so affected by some of them. I will share some of their stories with you all in the future.
