The times of worship have been refreshing and the opportunities to hear the word and listen to other speakers has been encouraging, enlightening and challenging. There are 2 aspects of this gathering that are my favorite: 1) getting to see so many people from […]
We are about to land in Amsterdam, making our connection to Rome. It’s been a long night in the plane, about 9 hours so far. It’s morning in Amsterdam, 7 hour time difference.

I find it despicable that some would see the taking of innocent lives as some type of virtuous act. This was an act of pure evil. But make no mistake, what happened here yesterday happens […]
