What a day! I went to a memorial service this morning and my 40th high school reunion this evening. Here is what I learned… Continue reading

Happy Father’s Day!
I tried to call my father this afternoon to wish him a Happy Father’s Day but ended up having to leave a message on his answering machine. Even better than that, Jamey left a Happy Father’s Day message on our answering machine for Mark. I hope Dad gets as much pleasure from my message as Mark got from Jamey’s! Continue reading
Touring Door County: Southern Door
I had meant to explore southern Door County Sunday after church, but the wind was so cold I put it off for today. I was mostly on a mission to find some of the Belgian roadside chapels, but we made some other stops too. Continue reading
The church of The Old Rugged Cross
When Mark and I were researching churches in the area we found that there are not many in this tip of the peninsula, but Sturgeon Bay has both an LDS church and a Friends church. They both meet at 10:00 on Sunday morning, so since we’d been to Mark’s church last week, we went to the Friends Community Church this morning. Continue reading
While we wait…

From De Pere, WI
I’ve been remiss in writing since we left Minneapolis last week. When we first got to De Pere (just south west of Green Bay, WI) we had a couple deadlines hanging over our heads, and when we managed to get those done, there didn’t seem to be much to write about. Continue reading

They drained the swamp and began building a well planned town, the second largest in the west at the time. Chicago was the largest. Continue reading
Louisiana culture
For a state where every other billboard seems to be about a casino, most of the towns in this area close up on Sundays. This is a good thing except that today was our last day in the Lafayette area and I wanted to see as much as I could see. Continue reading
Last hurrah in San Antonio
I haven’t written in a while because my laptop hard drive began to fail and we took it in to get backed up and have a new hard drive put in. Unfortunately, the backup couldn’t capture everything I had on the old hard drive so I’ve been having to rebuild my computer. The last couple days we’ve been busy seeing about the last of everything we wanted to see while we’re here, so I have pictures to share: Continue reading
Still praying? Part II
My friend, Denise Fuller, gave me a heads up on a partial answer to prayer. I have been looking online for confirmation of this story and there’s not much yet, but here is a report from the BBC:
