Gone Fishing

This morning, Aunt Michele is gonna be

"gone fishing."

{slept in}

Look back next week for a brand new story.

This week Uncle Byron, Greyson and I were talking about stories that we could pass on to you. We talked about all the crazy things that have happened while on the way to the island. Below is the link to a short story about a time when I had to be "adventurous."

Here's something funny for you today -

Girl Dog has a new habit. She wants to go out front and stands at the door to get out. As soon as we let her out, she turns around to come back in? Just now she was barking to get back in. She doesn't make a lot of noise in general, but she was making the funniest barky-talky sounds just now letting me know she was ready to come back in.

Have a good day!

Everything New

I'm reading a book for old missionaries about all the crazy things people go through in returning from their field of service to spend time in their home country. One of the chapters is all about how tough it is to "go home." Things change and the missionary ends up out of sync with what's new since their last "home" visit. "Coming home" this time has been smooth in some ways and a little crazy in others. Byron and I haven't had a real furlough for six years. On one hand our recent short visits pathed the way for an easier transition. But staying for a longer this time around means we don't have to feel as rushed to go and do and see, even though we are always reminded of that the pages of the calendar are passing by. Keeping in touch with our friends in Brazil is uniquely easy nowadays allowing us the privilege of almost instant contact, real time decision making and even seeing regular photos of my cat. We can send money quickly an...

My Promise Verse

Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. This verse has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. When I was a high school senior at a Christian school in Virginia, Job 23:10 was chosen as our class theme verse. At our graduation commencement, the valedictorian and saludatorian in their addresses that day divided the verse in its two natural parts as a basis for the core of each one's address. I was the salutatorian of my senior class that year. I chose to speak of how God would one day reward our faithfulness and thus, we should always strive to remain true. For many years though, the first part of the verse haunted me in a way. As a missionary especially when times were lonely or difficult, I assumed it was my "trial" or "test," and as such must be accepted in all humility. As I have grown older, I have begun to look more toward the pearly gates and have reconsidered the thr...

Core Memories: Furlough 2018

I happened upon an archive of old home video from our furlough in 2018 while transferring items to a new laptop. Oh, what fun to watch! Decided to put them in a little video collage. Making important memories while in the USA with our grands is important! It takes a little effort and a little intent. Enjoy! In memory of Papa Potter
