Thanks so much to all those who prayed and helped and even donated to make the meditation seminar a success! And yes, I’m very happy with how it turned out in general. Not that the day was without its challenges – as has been the case almost every Sunday lately. This time it was an […]

There are few things more important than unleashing the power of God’s Word in our lives. And so this Sunday we’re going to do something a little different – give a seminar during the service on Transformative Biblical Meditation. I would appreciate your prayers as I prepare. I would have written this post a while […]

10 years ago today! Shari was the speaker at a women’s conference, and her theme was “Finding Peace”. Here’s the poster: And here’s Shari herself, actually teaching. You can click the image for a larger version, but Shari will still be very far away.

Retro: Building A Sanctuary

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:21:00 +0000

Ten years ago today! This wasn’t exactly an event, but an ongoing work. The building of the main sanctuary for the church in the community of Jesús María. Ten years ago we were already using this “sanctuary” because we had an open-air baptism service right there! But it’s interesting to see how it was, knowing […]

9/11 – 25 Years Later

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 23:55:30 +0000

It’s the day to share your memories, so here are mine. I was listening to the news first thing in the morning, and immediately got up to turn on the TV and fired up the computer. I imagine most people knew that they were watching something that would truly affect the course of history. North […]

Dolphin Ride (retro)

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 21:22:00 +0000

Ten years ago today Hannah went for a ride on a dolphin! This was in Mexico City. You can’t really see the dolphin in the pictures, but it’s a “dolphin push” where the dolphin is under the water and pushing her foot. Here it is (no sound, just pictures)!

Settling In?

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:12:28 +0000

I’ve heard that you should never actually ask someone who recently moved if they’re “settled in”, because the answer will almost always be in the negative! In our case, it’s been quite an unusual year. We moved suddenly and unexpectedly in January. Then there was a rush to get things kind of in working order […]

Retro: Showers of Blessing…

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 01:03:00 +0000

Ten years ago right now, a choir from Valley Bible Church (Hercules, California) was performing one of their several concerts. It was outdoors, with the cables and sound system right in the middle of a field – and then it started to rain. So here’s the result – covering everything with tarps, and Pastor Martín […]
