Thursday morning, we woke up and went downstairs for the daily fry-up. After breakfast, we gathered together with the other two groups that were traveling with us. There was one group from Missouri that was made up entirely of senior girls and their chaperones. The other group consisted of five teachers traveling without students. They [...]

After we had our tour of London by coach, we started out of the city towards Windsor. We had seen the castle by air since Heathrow is actually near the castle, but we had not yet had a chance to check it out. We got there in time for a late lunch, and I had lunch [...]

When we got to the airport in Atlanta, there was immediately chaos. Apparently, the air traffic controllers in Atlanta were having a bad day and many of the planes were being delayed. As a result our initial plane was a couple of hours late. Since we only had about a forty-five minute window between arriving [...]

Quite a Surprise

Yesterday afternoon, I was in the shower when the phone rang. Naturally, I ignored it. After all, I didn’t want to drip all over the bedroom only to reach my phone as the caller was sent to voice mail. A couple of minutes later, the phone rang again, and this time, Jordyn brought it to [...]

I suppose I really should follow up my previous post with a bit of an explanation. This is part one of a two part explanation. Back at the beginning of September, I resigned from a bi-vocational ministry position. I had been on staff with the church for over a year and a half, but we definitely [...]
