I was talking with someone the other day about schedules. Most people can control their schedules to a large degree, whether it be meetings, phone calls, events, and even personal time. But in the disaster relief world, I can try my best to plan a schedule, but one storm or event can blow up the... Continue Reading →
“God saw all that He had made, and it was very good…” - Genesis 1:31a My wife, Sarah, and I celebrated our 15-year anniversary this summer and were able to take a week-long trip to Pittsburgh, PA.
