J&E Re:Form Video

A few weeks ago, E and I were interviewed by our church concerning the work we are doing with Let's Tend The Garden. The resulting video gives an excellent view into our heart of why we do what we do.

Barack Obama: A More Perfect Union

Over the past few days the remarks of Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, have been splashed on the news networks and around the blogosphere. To a lot of people (including myself), the views held by Rev. Wright have been disturbing – to say the least.

Today on the way to work, the [...]

Small Footprint, Big Handprint – a book report

Every once in a while you come across a book that echos the cry of your heart – in a lot of ways, Tri Robinson's Small Footprint, Big Handprint: How to Live Simply and Love Extravagantly does just that. It puts words to the desire to go beyond the status quo of normal, everyday [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

If you're not wearing BLUE, pinch yourself! No – that wasn't a typo – it was an historic fact.  You see, up until the mid-1700s the color most closely associated with Ireland and St. Patrick was blue, not green. In fact, the Irish Presidential Standard (ie. the flag used by the President of Ireland) [...]

Happy Pi Day!!

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971…. that is the number of today. It is also Albert Einstein's birthday (maybe that's how he got so smart)…

If you think that only math nerds enjoy the mysteries of pi, I would have you know that people all across England are celebrating these famous 24-hours. Now if we could only get Congress [...]

A Photo Journal: One week food supply….

Not long after I posted the "Raising Food Prices" post, G*** sent me an awesome photo journal showing a weeks worth of food for different families around the world. The pictures do a good job at making you stop and think about how much we eat…. enjoy.

Hmm… interesting…. kinda… nah, not really…

So goes my life..well, kinda. Undecided

It's sad to go from having two posts a day to none… especially when several of you have emailed me good posting materials.  So why haven't I posted anything? Time.  Yelp – that crazy bandit who sucks your life away without you noticing it… sigh.

Raising Food Prices

As if rising gas prices are not enough, the food we eat is steadily getting more expensive. Take wheat for instance: in the space of one year (March 2007 to March 2008), wheat prices have risen 130%. That's a huge jump that is going (if it hasn't already) to find its way into our [...]

Busy Weekend!!

We held two Paraguay Parties – one Friday evening in Boise with the other one in Sweet on Saturday afternoon. While we didn't get the attendances we where hoping for, we had a fun time sharing the heart God gave us for Paraguay. (see Saturday's post for more information about our upcoming trip to [...]

Back to Paraguay

Ever since we got back from South America in September 2006, we have been talking about going back again and the time is finally here.  During our last trip, we were able to make a connection with the Paraguay Vineyard’s pastor Pascual and his wife Patty and have been able to stay in contact [...]
