Our flight from Bethlehem was delayed last Sunday, so Ruth and I missed our connecting flight in Atlanta. We were booked on the next flight to Dallas, which meant that we missed worship - but we were upgraded to first class on the new flight! Peter and several other RUF staff joined us for lunch… Continue reading July 29, 2019 — Dallas

Ruth and I are on our way to Dallas for a week of staff training. We will worship at Park Cities Presbyterian this morning, then get ready for the week. This week is a turning point in the summer. After staff training all our attention gets turned toward the fall semester. I was in Bethlehem… Continue reading July 21, 2019 — Home

I spent the largest part of last week on performance reviews. I worked on the writing part on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday I drove to College Park, MD to discuss Chris Garriott's review with him. The traffic was awful, and the 3-hour trip took 6 hours. Chris and I had a good visit, then… Continue reading July 15, 2019 — Maryland and Delaware

Summer is here in Bethlehem, and the reward for writing this post is that I get to sit in our air conditioned living room. The past two weeks have been packed! I'd like to blame it all on Christopher, but that is not the whole truth. I was in Dallas June 24-28 for the General… Continue reading July 7, 2019 — Dallas and Connecticut

I was based at home last week and worked two large projects. I assembled the June issue of the RUF Northeast Report, which should arrive in mailboxes next week. This is a special issue focusing on HBCUs. If you do not get our newsletter, but would like to - send an email to my office… Continue reading June 24, 2019 — Home and Philadelphia

Also trying to catch up/keep up with house and garden chores which languish when I am away. Each minister fills out an evaluation form for the past year. I… Continue reading June 18, 2019 — Driving West

My flight to Dallas on Monday was rerouted through Philadelphia, which meant I landed an hour earlier than expected. I was able to get some exercise, then met the new interns and campus ministers. The content of orientation is primarily focused on policies and procedures for expenses and other job-related matters. Most of the teaching… Continue reading June 9, 2019 — Orientation in Dallas

We were home all last week! It was a transition from the spring semester routines to summer, and featured RUF activities mixed with household chores. I met with Kristy, replied to email, made phone calls, updated the financial records, etc. while working in the yard and garden, completing a basement project, and other chores. We… Continue reading June 3, 2019 — Transition to Summer

Our final week of summer conference! God gave us great weather all three weeks, for which we are very thankful. God also gave us wonderful messages from His word each night. Last week's preacher was Russ Whitfield, pastor of Grace Mosaic Church in D.C. and cross-cultural advisor to RUF. I taught a seminar on "Finding… Continue reading May 27, 2019 — SuCo Week 3

Last week was a more typical summer conference week for me. I spent the mornings working at my desk and afternoons visiting with people on the beach. I met with the campus ministers I supervise who are here. Ruth and I took Nate and Naomi Bower to dinner one night, and on the night all… Continue reading May 19, 2019 — SuCo Week 2, etc.
