We’re Coming Home! – Day 16
Posted August 11th, 2009
We’re all smiles today.
First, remember this number: 1,023. I’ll get back to it in a ’sec.
Because the one thing about international adoption is your countenance changes like the wind, hour by hour.
Happy, frustrated… bummed, excited.
Nestor’s Visa was issued at 3pm after us sitting around all day just waiting for the phone to ring. I so hate being unproductive.
Vacation Bible Camp 2009
Posted June 29th, 2009
Hola Amigos!
Just finished my 7th year doing five full-days of Vacation Bible Camp (VBC)… and it just keeps getting better and better.
When you look at ministry, this is what I love: Being with the kids.
We’re fortunate to be a good-sized, centrally located church, in a working-class community with a large population of working Mom’s and Dad’s. This means parent’s have a need that we’re committed to fill.
Joy! We Have Received a Referral
Posted June 10th, 2009
We have received a referral! I’m so excited, I can hardly write.
We have been referred to a young Salvadoran boy, 7 years old.
(Truth be told, we’ve known of this referral since January but only now are sharing it after official paperwork approval.)
Let me tell you more, beginning with a story.
Beautiful Children of El Salvador
Posted June 4th, 2009
Found these wonderful photos of beautiful Salvadoran children (and other nationalities) which says they’re from the Orphanage of SOS Children’s Village in El Salvador.
I’m guessing the photos are from multiple SOS orphanages.

Adoption and More El Salvador Photos
Posted April 10th, 2009
I ran across a cool bunch of photos over at Flikr.com on El Salvador that I thought you might enjoy.
They’ll give you some visual insight into this beautiful country, including the culture.
Having been there last August, it was really a site to experience.
Click below to watch… or if your computer freaks out, you can go here.
Meanwhile, we’re still passing time with our El Salvador adoption, sitting in waiting mode.
Today is Day 900 (but who’s counting).
P+A: Patience plus Action.

Happy Easter!
International Adoption = Faith In Action
Posted March 6th, 2009
Save the plane… or strap on a parachute: Which should I do first?”
– Anonymous
Every now and then, for no reason whatsoever… I strap on my boots, go outside, and kick a fire-ant hill or two. You know… to really stir stuff up.
This is one of those times.
