When I left the house this morning, I noticed these three men digging a trench. It is for a power line that will go to one of the new buildings. I thought they were working slowly, but I did not say anything. I know how they work. These guys just keep going. They work hard...
I remember many years ago being on a desolate road in a barren, desert-like area of eastern Haiti. No one was out there. Who would want to be? There was no water. The area seemed to be uninhabitable. And it was hot, very hot. I was riding in a car with my father and Bobby...
Yesterday afternoon, Sherry’s purse came up missing. It had her passport, license, credit cards, etc. Without a passport, you cannot enter the Dominican Republic or Haiti. We looked and prayed, and the Lord gave us peace. Today, we found her purse at the UPS store! Everything was inside! The Lord answered our prayers. Today, we...

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...
