If you watched the bell pouring video, you might be interested in the final outcome. So here’s a picture for you. It was taken by John, a good friend of ours who saw it parading around the town of Kandern. The bell has a picture of a shepherd and his sheep with the words “The […]
Just wanted to enlist you to pray for Europe on October 23. Our organization is working on an interactive map on the web that will allow you to read prayer requests from all over Europe. It will be complete by October 23, but it’s still a work in progress. Please visit the link now, to […]
First, I’d like to start off by saying, there are no exact measurements. It’s all based on approximations. So given that fact, I don’t know how big of a pumpkin you need to buy. If you know what a regular pumpkin looks like (the orange kind that people use to carve funny faces in), buy […]
So we had our first guitar lesson tonight. We signed up for a weekly course at one of the community colleges in the area. Our purpose is two-fold.
1. To learn how to play the guitar (I guess our goal is a fitting one given the lessons we’re taking)
2. To practice our German.

On Friday, Thadd and I drove to Freiburg to pick up a free printer that someone wanted to get rid of. It was past 8pm so we decided to hang out a bit in Freiburg. Our teacher lives in the city and offered her parking place behind her apartment since neither she nor her roomate […]

We just received an official letter from the Trash Department (that’s probably not the exact translation, but it works) and we’re in violation of the law! At minimum, we are supposed to put our trash out 12 times per year. We have the smallest trash can and to empty it, it cost us 2 Euros. […]
After listening to NPR last night, we were left with the feeling that the US is about to fall into the ocean. This morning, I received an email from a Christian financial institution that holds our retirement account through GEM (Envoy Financial) and was very encouraged by the words it contained. I thought you might […]
So 2 weeks ago we went up to Königsfeld to visit a friend and scout out an opportunity to live with a German family and work with the local church and the German Bible Institute. Our desire was to have opportunities to practice speaking German in everyday situations and provide our skills to assist these […]
We’ve had a visitor the last few days and her name is Daisy. She’s joined us on long walks each day and has been generally agreeable. She belongs to Thadd’s Director who went out of town for a few days. It’s been fun having a dog for a few days, but I’m sure it’s […]
