Lately I’ve been scooping poop out of the bathtub. I can hear what you’re saying. “Poop goes in the toilet Josh, not the bathtub.” You should explain that to my two year old daughter! I can tell Adi has pooped in the tub because she lets out a horrified shriek and scrambles over the side … Continue reading Mundane Chapters & Crocodiles in the Bathtub
Hangar Highlights | Shipping A Cessna to Uganda!
It’s a little more challenging than packing up a shirt you sold on eBay, that’s for sure. It’s crossing the ocean while sitting on the deck of an ocean liner so it will be exposed to hot temperatures, humid conditions, and quite a bit of jostling.
Defective Crayons and A Change of Plans
Above: These circles are made up of differently colored spots and are one method used to diagnose colorblindness. "Normal" people can see numbers in all the circles while I can see the numbers in just one, or maybe two if I squint and guess.

The Church Search
We love our church, River of Life Fellowship, but we don't live in Indiana anymore and no matter how much you love a church, driving almost five hours to get there isn't practical.

I’d rather that they gave Adi a megaton of TNT since TNT doesn’t shed hair or poop in your shoes. Plus, it still kills moles in your backyard! … Continue reading A Toddler Can Melt Your Heart Faster Than A Flamethrower

As of May 20, 2019, we're officially, really, actually, truly, legit 100% fully funded! Research shows that only 15% of missionaries who start the support raising process actually finish it and get to the field.
