Ruth and I spent last week at the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America, in Mobile Alabama. It was a good week. The weather was moderate (for Alabama in the summer!), the food was tasty, and the meetings were edifying. General Assembly is a prime opportunity to meet people who work overseas. I… Continue reading June 27, 2016 — General Assembly

Last week was pretty quiet around here. The biggest excitement was trying to file expense reports. Bonnie usually does that, but she's on vacation now so I tried my hand at it. After three aborted attempts I finally succeeded. The good news is that I accomplished my two major projects: the June newsletter and an… Continue reading June 20, 2016 — Office

Considering everything, I had a good and profitable time at New Staff Orientation last week. I had caught a bad cold the previous week while in Mexico, and I'm still getting over it. So I was operating at half-speed last week, but I had good conversations with campus ministers and other coordinators, and a delightful… Continue reading June 13, 2016 — New Staff Orientation

Last Monday Ruth and I woke early to catch our flight to Mexico City. We had been warned about unusually long security lines at the airport, but we discovered that Memorial Day is a good day to fly - the airport and airplane were not crowded at all. A few days earlier I had been… Continue reading June 6, 2016 — Mexico

Last week was going to be a peaceful week at home. The first part of the week was. I got home from the Jersey Shore RUF conference Sunday afternoon and slept in Monday morning. I was more tired than I realized! We worked through things at home until Wednesday. That's when we learned that Melissa… Continue reading May 29, 2016 — Pray for Melissa

Last week flew by! On Saturday and Sunday, May 14-15, I prepared a seminar on "Justification." The campus minister previously assigned to it was unable to do it, so I was enlisted. I finished preparing at 11:00 pm Sunday. That's not as arduous as it might sound; I spent a couple of hours on the… Continue reading May 24, 2016 — Summer Conference Week 3 Plus

Last week was good. Tom Cannon's evening messages on our hope in Christ hit home with students. I met with the three ministers and one woman staff from my area who were here in Florida. We discussed personal and ministry matters, including how best to use the summer to position us for stronger ministry next… Continue reading May 12, 2016 — Graduation and Meetings

I'm back from my sabbatical, and already we're off to Florida, where RUF's Summer Conference is running. You don't want a full recounting of events during my 8 weeks of sabbatical (actually 7 weeks sabbatical + 1 week of vacation), so I won't labor you with those details. Ruth and I took two weeks of… Continue reading May 4, 2016 — Back in Florida!

It's leap day, and the last day of work before I depart for a sabbatical. More on that later. I spent most of last week in the small state of Delaware where big things are happening. I had lunch with Scott Mitchell here in Bethlehem before heading to Newark, Delaware, to see Nick and Erin… Continue reading February 29, 2016 — Delaware and Newport, RI

Last Saturday I drove home from Providence, RI, after visiting and preaching at the RUF ministry at Brown/RISD. Sunday we raced out of worship and drove to Philadelphia to catch a plane to Atlanta. Ruth and I were arriving for RUF Winter Assessment, where we evaluate couples who are interested in RUF ministry. Assessment is… Continue reading February 21, 2016 — Atlanta and Millersville
