Hello again everyone, Many thought that I went missing on my sea voyage from Haines, AK to Bellingham, WA. Unfortunately, WiFi was not available on the boats so had to wait until I reached the lower 48. I know some of you have cruised the Inside Passage and enjoyed it...if you have not, I would encourage you to consider taking a cruise or a ferry north to Alaska. On Monday, July 14, we boarded the Marine Vessel (MV Kennicott) at Haines, AK. This was my first experience putting my Gold Wing on the deck of a ship. I had heard many [View Full Entry]

Wow, we have heard back from so many people. Thanks to so many of you for your encouragement and prayers! As I was working on a Bible Study this week, I ran across an old familiar verse. Isn't it great the way God speaks to us wherever we are in our lives! Here's the verse - Psalm 19:14 (I'm sure many of you know it by heart) May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer! May this be true of us especially as we travel [View Full Entry]

So, we only have 6 days to go! Can't quite believe it's almost here! I've been making lots of lists and doing lots of shopping. So many things to do and so little time. When we discovered this website for the Salt and Light Ministry, , we really started getting excited. This ministry is doing an Evangelism Campaign in Hunedoara and that is what we get to help with. Also, for those interested, here is the website for Broken Walls International, Inc. the ministry that helps many of the orphans in Romania. . We will get to visit the two families [View Full Entry]

I Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever, Amen. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

MONDAY 19TH - SAN FRANCISCO - Had breakfast at 'Mels Diner' one block from the hotel. A fair dinkum American dinner. Mike had Hash corn beef and eggs. Was great all shinny and just like you imagine a diner to be. Then we took a cab to the wharf for our trip to Alcatraz. Cold and windy on the boat (we were on the top deck). Great views of the city and the island. Left on the 10.30 crossing and returned on the 2.30pm. Time just flew. So interesting watched a movie on the history of the island. Originally it was [View Full Entry]

So, you're probably wondering whatever made us decide to fly all the way across the world to Romania. Well, I'm sure there are going to be many times when we will repeat that question ourselves, but here is the general story. Earlier this year, my niece was inspired by someone in her church to do some mission work in Romania. Of course, she desired to have someone she knew well to go along with her and she, therefore, decided to talk my daughter into going along. As the plans progressed, we realized that the timing was not going to work out [View Full Entry]

well, we finally made it to posting an entry....1000 miles into the journey of course, but better late than never. here's the quick recap...we left in a flurry (as most trips are left in), but eventually made it over to the peninsula and to greet us, it was REALLY wet and cold for a week. it was quite miserable actually. it took us time to get used the loads and taking turns on wet, cold pavement...needless to say the going was slow. and our fingers hurt. oregon...better weather (our first day of sunshine), rogue brewery, better time... california...hell yeah. i love [View Full Entry]
