Have you been wondering what happened to me since my last post? I hope so! October and November have been super packed, and not having a resident assistant has kept me busy non-stop. The second week of October I visited Penn State and Pitt and the solid RUFs there. At Pitt I had lunch with… Continue reading November 12, 2017 — A Busy Fall

Two weeks ago while I was in Mexico, Ruth was playing with the grandchildren in Bethlehem. Megan flew from Alaska to Philadelphia with Eli, Amelia, and Isaac on Tuesday, September 26. They spent the week with Ruth, who took them to the zoo, to the park, and to the pumpkin patch. I returned from Mexico… Continue reading October 9, 2017 — Atlanta, Morgantown, and Grove City

It's a five-hour flight to Mexico City, plus transportation to and from each airport. I have a choice between a very early departure or a very late arrival. I always choose the very early departure, and I arrived at my hotel by mid-afternoon last Monday. The price I had to pay was getting up at… Continue reading October 1, 2017 — RUF in Mexico

I'm on my way to Mexico. It seems hard to get time for these reports unless I'm on a bus or in the air. Two weeks ago I was in Akron, Ohio, visiting Nate and Naomi Bower at the University of Akron. This is the fourth year of that ministry. It was good last year,… Continue reading September 25, 2017 — West and East

Tomorrow I fly to Akron, Ohio, then return and drive to Millersville. The travels begin! So last week was my final push before I begin visiting campuses. I can describe last week as a series of day-long events. I spent one day booking airline flights for fall and winter. It seems ridiculous to say that,… Continue reading September 10, 2017 — Last week at home

August was a relatively quiet month. I sent out a newsletter to Lehigh University supporters explaining the transition from Scott Mitchell to Michael Goodlin. I visited several local pastors I've been trying to see but never seem to be able to. I spent a lot of time cleaning up my mailing list. And there's my… Continue reading September 3, 2017 — Ready to Roll!

There isn't any exotic news to report this week. This month I'm spending 3 hours each day doing therapy exercises. I'm seeing obvious improvement and have been discharged from the outpatient clinic. I need to continue the exercises for several more weeks, but they said I am fine on my own at this point. Each… Continue reading August 8, 2017 — At Home

Ruth and I are flying home after a great week at staff training in Atlanta. I met with all the men I supervise, plus a man who is interested in starting RUF at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Our men are in top shape for the new year coming up, and it was encouraging to go… Continue reading July 29, 2017 — Staff Training

Here is just an overview of the past several months. On May 5 Ruth and I went to Florida for RUF's national student conference. It was wonderful, as always! During the three weeks over 2,000 students attended. I was sidelined for a week early in the month due to vertigo. Otherwise Ruth and I enjoyed… Continue reading July 23, 2017 — May, June, July Summary

Time sure flies! Part of the reason I've missed the last couple of weeks is that I've been taking a nap on Sunday afternoon, when I often write these reports. We're in that strange end-of-semester lull where school is still in session, but with exams and deadlines upon us, students are less available. That's why… Continue reading April 28, 2017 — Connecticut, Misc.
