I was not feeling well last week, but hotel and airline tickets were purchased, so I could not move my trip to Mexico. On Monday I slept on the way to the airport, in the air, and in the hotel until midnight. I felt better on Tuesday, but not full strength. By Thursday I was… Continue reading September 14, 2015 — RUF in Mexico

The good news about last week is that I completed essentially all of my fall calendar. I also bought the airline tickets, reserved hotel rooms, and reserved rental cars. The bad news from last week is that I got something, maybe the flu. I had a fever Thursday and Friday which knocked out hope of… Continue reading September 8, 2015 — Fall Planning Complete

It's August 31. Arghhh! Although the calendar shows three more weeks of summer, the summer season is effectively over. I'm not likely to get any sympathy from the campus ministers who read this, however, because summer ended for them weeks ago. Speaking of which, please pray for RUF ministers, interns, and students as this new… Continue reading August 31, 2015 — Travel Plans, Meetings, Etc.

Windows 10 has arrived. Note the lack of exclamation point. I was happy with Windows 7 and willing to keep it for many years. But like the horse and buggy, old technology gets out of date, and we need to keep up with the times. The difference is, the times change every couple of years… Continue reading August 24, 2015 — A Windows 10 Week. Benjamin to Grove City!

The first task of the day was to write this report. So how did it get to be 8:30 PM? Last week I was in the office half of the week, and in Florida the rest of the week. I worked hard to finish a newsletter focused on family news, and was pleased to complete… Continue reading August 17, 2015 — Florida Wedding!

I was expecting to be working in the garden now, but the Tuesday rain appears to have arrived early. We had a wonderful vacation in Alaska! Peter and Megan are staying with her parents there, and they were wonderful hosts. We arrived in Anchorage on Saturday in pouring rain, which kept up all the next… Continue reading August 10, 2015 — Home Again!

Ruth an I are on the way to Alaska! All the children will be there - the first time in three years. I left you as I was heading to Atlanta last Friday to meet our Mexican staff, Barush Sanchez and Monse Santiago. We spent all day Saturday training for campus ministry and fund-raising. Sunday… Continue reading July 25, 2015 — Staff Training.

Wow, this week has been a blur. But first, back to last week. Ruth and I spent July 4th with friends in New Jersey and stayed over to attend Tenth Presbyterian Church. Afterwards we caught a flight to Atlanta for RUF Assessment. Eighteen men came to Assessment last week. Three were single, and the rest… Continue reading July 17, 2015 — Assessment, Take 2 – and More!

I see I missed posting last week. Time flies when you're having fun! June 29 - July 3, I worked on several projects. This was the last week Bonnie and I will be in the office together until the middle of August, so I tried to make sure she knew how to do everything here.… Continue reading July 13, 2015 — RUF Assessment

I briefly considered not posting this week, because there isn't a lot to say about last week. As I reported, last Sunday we discovered that Benjamin's passport had expired. On Monday morning we gathered all the material to apply for a new one, and I drove it to an expediting service in Washington D.C. I… Continue reading June 29, 2015 — Excursion to Newfoundland
