Eight years! No words!

Been about eight years since I have blogged anything on this site.

No real reason to be absent.

Life.

All of us have life going on.

The last time I wrote was when I had arrived back from my long bicycle trip in 2017.

Four years have since passed.

Hard to believe that incredible journey was that long ago.

So now it is time to once again start sharing some thoughts.

What has happened in that interim time?

Spent a winter at the home-in-the-woods.

At the moment I am living close by to my in-laws and helping to take care of them and their needs.

Mom turned eighty-five and Dad turns eighty-eight in a few days.

Their life, legacy and character traits have trickled down the generational line.

K left for PNG and has been teaching there for just over a month now.

J moved to Georgia and got certified in fork lift driving and works with roofing.

B & T have adopted a beautiful little girl.

B also accepted a teaching position.

M is still in Texas working at writing and training hospitality workers.

Me.

Well, I am still kicking around.

Working through the Maring scriptures.

Just recently sent off thirty different files to PNG.

Back translations, notes, questions, revisions, comments...

At this time working through Hebrews.

After all the years of not sure what was going to happen with the translation program, it is still going.

Nine men and women and two churches from the language area are excitd to see the program continue on!

An absolute answer to prayer!

The Lord has definitely redeemed and transformed what the enemy wanted to destroy.

Cannot ruin what the Lord has called to Himself!

I now have a 'fat' bike.

Have about two hundred miles on it at present.

Working up the muscles again.

Would like to take another very long ride.

This time from home to Florida. 

Between three and four thousand miles.

Next year?

Maybe.

Right now my life is all about helping Dad and Mom as much as possible. 

Weekly shopping.

Doctor visits.

And I want to tell you all it is an honor to help them.

They helped all of us as a family over the years.

Beautifully rewarding to help them at this stage of their lives!

As far as what I will post on here...

unknown at this time.

A few pics.

Some words.

Poems.

Thoughts from reading Scripture.

Starting new.

Until I write more.

Continue to joy in the journey!

Blessing and shalom in the Lord of all life!
