this is just a glimpse of God's grace at work in my life. i pray that it will be an encouragement to others on the journey.
It has been a few days since I have been home from Albania, but I think that part of my heart longs to be back there. Last night I had a long, distinct dream set in Albania. I don’t know if that is common for other people in similar circumstances, but I am experiencing the [...]
I arrived home Sunday evening around 7:00pm. It is good to be home, but my heart and mind are being changed. I loved the trip, the people, and Albania. God is doing some neat things in my heart. I will share more later, definitely. But for now, thank you, all who were praying. God was [...]
I am in the airport in Vienna once again. I will be boarding in a few minutes. God has been so good. Obviously, I will share more later. Grace and Peace from Europe. Ricky
I had an unexpected opportunity to get on the internet again. So I will share quickly. Things are continuing to go well. We are getting much done. We basically finished up two of the projects and we are now devoting our efforts to the main and final project. God has given us stength and energy. [...]
Praise the Lord. God is so good. I have so much that I want to say, but I have so little time. I am in the Internet Kafe near the University in Shkoder (the town that we are in, or Shkodra). I am using a German keyboard which is a bit different from what we [...]
God has given us safe travel over the Altantic. We arrived in Vienna, Austria about twenty-five minutes ago and we are waiting to catch our flight to Tirana, Albania. We left Washington at 6:30pm and arrived here at 9:30am. We have not had much sleep but (Robert didn’t sleep at all) but we are still [...]
I am sitting in the wonderful Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport getting ready to check in to my first flight. I have to admit that I have been a bit nervous. I flew on my first commercial airline flight a little less than a year ago. So this is my first international flight. I was reminded by [...]
I am chompin’ at the bit! In less than two days I will be leaving for Albania. Before I leave I have two tests and a paper to write. I have to pack and do a few other odds n’ends…I want to leave right now! – but I must remember that there is a time [...]
What do you call someone who is twenty-seven, not finished with school (undergrad), still living with his parents, doesn’t have his own bed or bedroom and drives a gas-hogging 1984 Ford pick-up truck? Some people would identify this type of person as a “LOSER.” And I would have agreed with that assesment to some degree [...]
On March 5, 2006, God took my Aunt Arlene to be with Him. Although, this seems tragic, it is not. She will no longer battle sin or its consequences. She is at peace, and most importantly she is with Jesus. It is hard for those who are here and who were closest to her. I [...]
