| The When |
 | (Nov 11, 2008)
We realize our life is a little confusing. It's confusing for us too! We're taking this entire news article just to lay out the next few years clearly, so you'll know where we'll be and when we plan to head to Cambodia. |

| Fall Colors |
 | (Oct 28, 2008)
The fall colors here in Missouri can be breathtaking with the right light. As the season changes Sharon and I are reminded of God's handiwork in creation and inspired to redeem the time... in a few short years we'll be in Cambodia learning language and culture! |

| Fall Hayride |
 | (Oct 27, 2008)
It's fall, so we had to go on a hayride! The country baptist church we attend in Elderidge, MO loaded 60 people up on trailers full of hay and took us out to a farmer's field where I gave a devotional and we ate hotdogs! |
|
| Staying Sharp |
 | (Oct 24, 2008)
Our simple living class is over, but the lessons we learned won't sink in unless we begin to practice simple, practical living now. Tantamount to our success in spiritual life, too, is to simplify and stay sharp! |

| Where There Is No Barber |
 | (Oct 23, 2008)
What if you couldn't just go down the street to the Salon and get your hair cut? Pretty scary thought. You may look pretty hairy in a few months. Well, today we learned some tips about coping with that very thing. |

| Shared Experience |

The only worthwhile experiences are shared ones, that's our motto. As part of our practical skills class we were able to share with our classmates some hiking gear we own and some mistakes we made on our life-changing trip through the Appalachian Mountains. |

| Simple Life |
 | (Oct 13, 2008)
"The journey is the destination." Life is all about what the journey looks like and a lot of times we can get set in our ways about how we think the journey should look. This week may help break us of that. |
|
| Football Frenzy |
 | (Oct 12, 2008)

| Asking Questions |
 | (Oct 6, 2008)
Cambodia's young people are starting to notice something odd at their traditional festival for the dead: the food never goes anywhere. As they begin to question traditional beliefs, a door is opened to the gospel. |
|
| Our Shrinking World |
 | (Oct 3, 2008)
The world's not getting smaller. Technology is just getting better. Today's missionaries have a unique advantage over those sent out just a few years ago: the team of people praying for and encouraging them can go too! |
