Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Nick and Erin Owens at the University of Delaware. This RUF is in its third year, but they have grown rapidly. There is still much room for improvement, but for the third year they are terrific. My only concern is that they not over-extend themselves in their… Continue reading February 25, 2018 — Delaware and Georgia

This website is essentially finished. I'd like to add the RUF logo and some more pictures, but I need to find someone who can show me how to do that. Everything else from the old site is now here. We finally made it to Atlanta for RUF Assessment! After repeated delays and a cancellation on… Continue reading February 17, 2018 — Assessment and Lehigh

I was expecting to type this on the flight to Atlanta, where Ruth and I are heading for RUF Assessment. However, our flight was repeatedly delayed, and finally cancelled. Fortunately American was willing to rebook us on the first flight out in the morning - a Delta flight at 6:00 am. So we will be… Continue reading February 11, 2018 — Retreats and Delaware State

I didn't need to leave town until Tuesday last week, so I was able to join the local pastors of our presbytery for our monthly lunch on Monday. I am often out of town and miss these. That night I had dinner with a couple who are considering our new ministry at IUP. Tuesday morning… Continue reading January 21, 2018 — New Jersey and Delaware

Last week was very productive in spite of the fact that everything took longer than anticipated. In addition to the routine office work, I worked on three projects. After Kristy left the office on Monday Benjamin and I installed a new, much faster hard drive on the office computer. It had become so slow as… Continue reading January 14, 2018 — Computer, Letter, IUP

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a beautiful and merry Christmas season celebrating the incarnation. What a wonderful thing that God would choose to become man! Most of Ruth's family came to town for a few days before Christmas, and we visited my brothers in Maryland a few days after. All of our children… Continue reading January 8, 2018 — God Became Man!

I just had a delightful lunch with Nick Owens. Nick was unable to be at staff training earlier this month due to the birth of his second child. Mother and baby are fine, and Nick is thinking about the spring semester. His ministry at the University of Delaware is developing very well. I spent most… Continue reading December 18, 2017 — New England Universities

Facebook has little on it today but pictures of snow in the south - even in Texas! It must be true if it's on Facebook, but even the mainstream news appears to support these reports. Some of our RUF people have been having trouble getting flights out of Denver into Southeastern airports, but everyone seems… Continue reading December 9, 2017 — Staff Training!

Between Labor Day and Thanksgiving I spend most of my time on campus, visiting campus ministers. That's what I love about this job! But someday I have to take care of business in the office, and some of these days were in the last two weeks. Kristy is doing a wonderful job as my assistant,… Continue reading December 3, 2017 — Office, Ordination, and Lehigh

Last week I participated in four major projects. On Monday and Tuesday I was in Atlanta for meetings with the other Area Coordinators and national RUF staff. We discussed changes in benefits, financial policies, upcoming events, etc. Some good news is that the increase in health insurance cost will be much lower than originally announced.… Continue reading November 19, 2017 — Supporting Campus Ministers
