Old Friends

I have an aunt and uncle who live in Colorado who are very connected in the music scene there and regionally. The Alleluia Quartet recorded our last two projects in his studio. I mention this because I have been a huge fan of their music since I was a kid. He would record songs using a technique he called “ping-pong a go-go” process....

This past week I was able to get away with family for a little vacation to Grayling, Michigan. We were able to visit different places, do some shopping, sight-seeing, and mostly, a little relaxing. There were a few nights that I was able to spend by a campfire as the stars entertained us, and while there are many things I could write about, one thing really jumped out at me on our last day there…...

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to go with our mission team to Spirit Lake, North Dakota and work on a couple of projects. We built a wheelchair ramp for a resident of the Spirit Lake Reservation as well as begin the construction of the new bath house for the ministry center. I was tasked with nailing the studs together to form the outside walls....
