Summer at Bear Trap Ranch

Once again we find ourselves in ministry at Intervarsity's Bear Trap Ranch for the summer. We have two programs that run back to back. The first is a four week training program for new missionaries call Lifeworkx. We cover four basic self discovery areas along with introducing these passionate people to some of the challenges of life in ministry in another culture. Following that we spend the next 10 days with about 100 of our missionaries on home assignment. This program is run by Deänne and the focus is to allow our people just off of the field to unpack their last term in a safe, caring environment. We love it and so do they. For more info and pictures of what this looks like check out the website www.OC08Internship.blogspot.com

Kassen Waterlogged

As Kassen's last high school activity she went with several members of her Anatomy and Physiology class on a seven day river rafting trip. She had a blast - at least, as much of a blast as possible without showering for all that time! Check out the slide show for more pix of the beautiful Green River's Desolation Canyon (and Kassen, of course).

30 Years Ago...

In all the excitement of Kassen's graduation an important event went unheralded. Deanne and I celebrated 30 years together! Seems impossible that we could be even that old. We plan on at least 30 more, as God might allow. Thank you for living it all with us!
