Financial Support Update
We headed out on the road to B.C. from Calgary last Sunday not knowing what was in store for us. As of last week, we were in need of $150 more per month. The fact is, from last April we were in need of $1,200/month. An amount that could have held us back from headingContinue reading “Financial Support Update”
Living in Canada
It is hard to believe that it is already December after coming back to Canada in August. We have had many things going on that makes it seem that we have been in Canada longer than four months. Life does take on a different “shape” while we are back. Even though we were in denialContinue reading “Living in Canada”

It was notContinue reading “Is blogging worth it?”
Life in Kenya, plus ten thoughts
Since the first “plus ten thoughts” post that we did was such a popular idea we thought that we would do another one about living here in Kenya. There are many things that are the same and many that are different. There is certainly a sense that over the past year Kenyans have desired notContinue reading “Life in Kenya, plus ten thoughts”
“I always do the right thing…
.. after I have tried everything else.” This was the message on a refridgerator magnet that caught our attention. How many times do we think that very thought “oh well I’ll do better next time” or justifying our actions because that is just the way it is. Anyone who knows us, and if we are honestContinue reading ““I always do the right thing…”
