On my last post on the MRP blog, I talked about balancing our schedules. Since then, I would like to say that my balancing has drastically improved, and while it has improved to some degree, life has also got in the way. Doesn’t it always find a way to do that? Now that we’ve talked […]
Everything in Order
A few weeks ago, I was blessed to be able to have lunch with some missionaries who have been working in Papua New Guinea. The country has about 4000 people with about 850 different languages. The little village where these missionaries have been living has about twenty people who speak the language Mum (pronounced Moom). She has been […]

Where Do You Write?
I love watching people. I’m fascinated by them. That’s why I can’t write in public. I’ve tried. I love coffee shops and college libraries, but I get distracted and don’t reach my word count.
