We had a mostly glorious week this past week with one major exception. You’ll remember Travis and Emily Mitten who had to return to the U.S. because of Emily’s incredibly difficult pregnancy. We learned last Wednesday that they lost the baby. She is still carrying it and and we are all praying that her body [...]

Before I tell you about our week, I should give a little update on my mom in case you’re wondering what’s happened since our last blog entry. Mom saw her cardiologist yesterday. She feels a lot better about having the catheter ablation procedure now that he has answered her questions. But she is not going [...]

I took a little break from sermon preparation and visiting supporters to take a stroll with my camera recently. It’s been a while since I’ve done that. It sure was refreshing to really focus for a while on some of the examples of God’s marvelous physical wonders and the interesting ways we humans interact with [...]

I love it when a plan comes together – even if I’m on plan “D” when it happens. Plan “A” was to go to La Ceiba on Monday morning and go straight to the medical center downtown for an ultrasound to try to discover the source of my mystery pains. Then I would proceed on [...]

I know I’m dating myself here, but who remembers the old Clint Eastwood movie, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? I think we could make a movie about life here in Roatán called, The Beautiful, the Bad, and the Bizarre. Last week was just a gorgeous week. I needed to go to Utila to [...]

The title for this blog entry is also the name of a very popular song here on Radio HRGS. It’s sung by a southern gospel group that, in my humble opinion, can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Don’t get me wrong – I like southern gospel, but these folks are not even close to [...]

I did some mud hauling this week – not in the truck – under it. I’ve been working for a while on a method of preventing dead air on the radio if something happens to our network or to our audio equipment. I’ve mentioned it before and said back on New Year’s Day that I [...]

If you missed the first part of this story, just scroll down the page a little bit and part one will get you up to speed. Since there was so much to tell, I thought it better to break it into two installments. That was easier to write and probably easier to read as well. [...]

Well, it looks like rainy season is here. After Ida passed by, it just kept on raining. So the island is green again, colors are muted and saturated at the same time, and the mosquitoes are as thick as … well, mosquitoes. As I write this, Peter and Sandi’s Nissan Trooper is up on jack [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression – probably had times that fit the expression. You’re working on a project and all is well, and then, suddenly, the wheels come off. That really happened yesterday. Let me explain. Peter and Sandi are still up in the States on their furlough. While they are gone, they wanted [...]

First, let’s pretend that today is Thursday. I had this all written up and ready to upload and then got called away, so I wasn’t able to finish it until Friday morning. It was a good distraction, but still kept me from getting this done. So we’ll just make believe I got it done and [...]

Have you ever had one of those weeks where nothing really noteworthy seems to have happened? I used to have them quite often. I guess that’s why we call them ordinary. But since coming here to Roatán, the ordinary week has become the unusual week. So you could call this an ordinary week or an [...]
