It's Ruth's birthday! We're entering a new era, and I'm not talking about Ruth's age. When I announced at 2:30 after a late lunch that we would reassemble at 4:00 for birthday cake, Benjamin said he would be on hand for dinner. He's already cleaned up most of the leftovers in the fridge. Actually, I… Continue reading November 22, 2015 — Atlanta and Delaware

Last Sunday I drove to Connecticut so I would be past the New York traffic in the morning. The New England staff met at UConn on Monday, and we had a wonderful day for sharing, praying, and some teaching. I drove to Boston that night to miss the Boston traffic. It was nice to be… Continue reading November 15, 2015 — Connecticut and Boston

Here it is a week later and again the agenda today is to rake leaves. But it's a small price to pay for the beauty of the trees. On Monday I drove to Maryland to see Chris Garriott in College Park. I was delayed in leaving because I actually did a chore - I replaced… Continue reading November 7, 2015 — Maryland and Philadelphia

Well, it's been a very busy couple of weeks. I'm going to blame it on my children. Ruth and I returned from our New England trip on Friday, October 16, in time for her to win the homeschool chili cookoff. Benjamin preceded us for his fall break from Grove City College. We enjoyed having him… Continue reading November 3, 2015 — Atlanta and Bethlehem

Last Monday, October 26, all the RUF ministers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware converged on Lancaster for our fall staff meeting. We had a wonderful time of sharing and prayer together. Tuesday morning Daniel installed a program on our RUF computers to enable us to use our old DOS database with Windows 10. Then I… Continue reading November 3, 2015 — Lancaster, Cambridge, and Providence

I was supposed to be flying to Atlanta now, on an old plane without WiFi. My flight is delayed, so that gives me the opportunity to post this report from the Allentown airport. Last week was wonderful! Ruth and I had a very nice couple of days in Montreal last weekend and drove to Burlington,… Continue reading October 18, 2015 — Vermont and Connecticut

I was in Atlanta last week for meetings with RUF's national oversight committee and the other coordinators. We discussed some important issues and made some necessary decisions. The time was well-spent. On Thursday I drove to Millersville, PA, to see Trip and Joy Beans at Millersville University. That night I attended one of their three… Continue reading October 11, 2015 — Atlanta and Millersville

Ruth drove to the Pittsburgh airport and picked me up, and we drove to Grove City, Pennsylvania. It… Continue reading October 5, 2015 — Pitt and Penn State

I have to leave the house at 5:00 AM to get to Manhattan, Kansas, before dinner. Monday's travel to Kansas State University was uneventful, and I caught some time with Jon Dunning in the afternoon. That night we went to a Bible study for men in a fraternity. It started with a few men early… Continue reading September 25, 2015 — Kansas and Minnesota

Last Wednesday I stopped in New Jersey on the way to visit our new ministries in Delaware. Phil Henry contacted me several years ago shortly after he had arrived in the area to begin a discussion of bringing RUF to Rowan University. Phil was here to plant a church in the Glassboro area, and from… Continue reading September 21, 2015 — Delaware and New Jersey
