Trujillo Sand Slide

While working for a few weeks in Trujillo, Peru, at a health clinic we had an afternoon of diversion to climb a mountain close to the ruins of the Temple of the Moon and Sun. Here a friend is sand-sliding which allows someone who spent one hour climbing the mountain to descend in less than a minute.

Coconuts in Belize

The last gasp prior to residency: a friend and I travel to Belize to learn scuba diving and experience the paradisal islands only a short boat ride from Placencia. I like coconuts...

Counting the cost.

Each should count the cost prior to building his tower or going to war. So also for the Christian who must forsake all in order to be a true disciple of Christ. Luke 14:25-33. But what fools are we to hold on to that which is transient and perishable instead of looking toward that which is eternal and imperishable.

And [Jesus] said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life." Luke 18:29-30

My nieces

My three nieces, each different in appearance, but all uniquely beautiful. May the Lord bless them and keep them. The Lord make his face to shine upon them, and be gracious unto them. Make he lift up his countenance upon them and give them peace.

Zambia! The Joy of meeting Bina Ezra

I do hope that the lovely Bina Ezra might forgive me for placing her picture on the internet, yet I wish to show the world the loveliness of her countenance, the quintessence of joy found in Christ. That March of 2000, while traveling in rural Zambia outside the small town of Macha, I was able to experience communal praise and worship with Bina Ezra and her family.
