Mid-First Semester Break 2019
We have finished our Mid-First Semester Testing and officially closed the school for their normal two week break. There was some good and bad for the whole of the last two weeks. First let me apologize for no blog last week as the internet was insufficient to post pictures with the blog. We had our first…
Thank You!

Travel, food, churches and having Kiernan Shipka read to our kids

A normal weekly schedule
Several folks have asked I give them an idea of what my life is like at the new site since I am not doing all the physical work I used to do for the other ministry. While I doubt anyone has a set in stone schedule that is never adjusted from week to week, I…
