Thoughts on Life and Faith And Other Stuff

Congo

Emily and I just returned from a 3 1/2 week trip to Congo and Tanzania. It was so great to be back in Congo, and to connect with my friends from HEAL Africa. The first part of the trip we were working on some computer and technology stuff, helping to put together the infrastructure to help the hospital track their patients and treatments. The second week was spent with a group from the Upper Room, doing a variety of different things. One of the highlights were the English classes that we taught each afternoon. It was a great opportunity to connect with 50-60 Congolese students and talk about life, faith, and politics!

At the end of our trip, Emily and I also had the chance to go on safari with some good friends in Tanzania. What an amazing thing to see the beauty of creation and these animals in the midst of it all!

Anyway, there are some photos on the Pictures page - feel free to check them out!

Out of the Ooze

I have been trying to be more intentional about writing these past few months. Part of the reason is that an article that I wrote a couple of years ago was recently published as a part of a compilation called “Out of the Ooze”. It’s a series of very interesting articles that have been published on the Ooze website over the past several years. I am honored to be a part of this project, and it has provided some good motivation to keep writing!

Wedding

On October 12, Emily and I got married at Christ Presbyterian Church. It was an amazing celebration, and we felt so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by so many friends and family. It was overwhelming to see the amazing people that have invested so much in our lives and we felt surrounded by love. Thanks to all of you who celebrated with us!
