... A Far Green Country

By most measures today was a very good day. My lovely wife came back to us safely after a quick trip back to Dallas. We worshiped together as a family and I watched as my two boys rounded the bases and fielded grounders and fly balls successfully in the warm afternoon sunshine. Now everyone is going to bed tired and satisfied. God be Praised!

We have some new challenges ahead of us in the short term. Kathy's mom is in the hospital, and really only has a very limited time left with us. We will need to explain to Caleb and Ian that their Grandmother has gone on to be with God. That Ian can, and will, survive something similar to what claimed their grandmother. I will also be traveling down to Puerto Rico this week to evaluate a new opportunity.

We covet your prayers, and are sustained by the love and care of God, as expressed by those around us.


The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back and all changes to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise (Tolkien)

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (John's Revelation)
