Samuel is another strong and handsome young man growing up here in the Love A Child Children's Home. He was brought to Love A Child by his father as a tiny infant. His mother died in childbirth. He does well in school and really enjoys playing instruments. He plays the guitar but excels on the...
This place looks good. The trees are in bloom. The grass is greening up and everyone is staying busy on this bright Tuesday morning. The guys that take care of the yard are known as "pikan" workers. Many years ago we started calling them this because these workers removed the thorny pikan bushes with only...
“Keep Fishing” We took a photo of these guys fishing in their homemade skiff. They were the only people on the water. As far as the eye could see, there was not even one other boat. A big storm was rolling in. Ominous clouds were closing in from the surrounding mountains. I felt bad for...
Yellowstone National Park pictures! Tomorrow evening, Glacier National Park! Sherry and I arrived back in Florida late this afternoon, and we return to Haiti this week. Oh, how great God is!! His beauty is beyond compare! We are very thankful for this week to be relaxed and surrounded by such peace. The hotel we stayed...

Have you ever got behind in a project and needed some help? It didn't matter who, you just needed someone to come assist. Someone who could help you cross the finish line. Even if it was just for moral support, you weren't picky, you needed to recruit someone to be with you. That was me....
“A Father Carries His Son.” I love this photo. The dad is proud of his sons. And clearly his sons look happy to be with their dad. Even though he is wearing an old, tattered shirt and living in a mud hut, this poor, Haitian dad is doing the best he can for his boys....
