Welcome! This is written for our children (with a long trip down memory lane), but we're glad you stopped by! We hope some of our adventures will inspire you, and perhaps some of the things we've learned will help you along your way. So - with some laughter (from a disinherited daughter ☺) at the idea that mom might be able to doing more on the internet than check her email - here we go!

Haiti - Changing Lives

Haiti October 2013

There are very few experiences in life that are truly life altering.  Marriage is one of those as are any children you raise and perhaps the untimely death of a loved one. But outside of those the universal examples begin to dwindle.  We live our live inside our protective shells, inside our comfortable ideas of what the world is like and what it should be until some chance circumstance or a choice we make rattles our life in such a way that we can never see the world the same way again.  For me a birthday present from my wife was the catalyst. 

While working with Poured Out during the Moore, Oklahoma teornado recovery, Dana began to consider giving me a trip to Haiti with Poured Out.  She knows I love to help people truly in need, and the trip was a God sent idea.  The Haiti tab in this blog has the story of my jorney to Haiti to serve one of the poorest nations on earth.  The person that returned from that trip is not the same person who left.
