A Day Documented: South Africa

We are staying with our [...]

Third Stop: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

We’re in Harrisburg!
There are so many amazing people we get to see out here- it’s a little bit overwhelming. But really, really fun.
We were picked up at the airport by our good friend Ryan, who staffed my DTS back in 2006. We’re staying with our friends, Don and Angie, here in H-town. They have four [...]

Cut & Paste

Hi everyone!
Just thought I’d share with you some of the homemade, do-it-yourself activities that I’ve spent some time on recently.
I wanted to send out some fun Thanksgiving mail. So I did exactly that.
I started by cutting out rectangular pieces of fall-colored card stock, measuring somewhere around 1/2″x1″. I glued slightly smaller pieces on top of [...]

Hello again.

Hey blog-readers,
Sorry it has been a while since we posted something new! We got back to Kona just about two weeks ago and have had lots of things to get caught up with here, so our blogging slowed down. But only temporarily. I have lots of ideas of things I want to write about, so [...]

This music video is a little less than four minutes in length and is positively worth the time, in my humble opinion… so I hope you enjoy watching it! Johnny’s brother, Josiah, has just released his first single from his album, The Ache and Answer.
