Happy New Year 2017! Debbie and I so much enjoyed our Christmas and Holiday season. Josiah came in for a ten day visit from Seattle and it was soooooo ….. gooood to have him home again with us here in Pittsburgh.

The three of us had hours of unbroken conversation, shared lots of snuggles, watched some of our favorite movies, eat some good home cooked meals, and spent time visiting family and a few close friends. He and I even made some deer sausage and later we smoked it, in a meat smoker that we made and set up behind the house. It was great fun! Our Christmas morning was quite – just the three of us.

Leading up to Christmas, I was able to do some deer hunting through the fall and that was rather rewarding. Hoping to get out again for a late season hunt and as time permits, I am planing some steelhead fishing with my brothers before the pace of ministry and travel picks up later this month. Before too long – it’s full steam ahead with meetings in Ohio, California, Texas, Singapore and Thailand.

Let’s do this together in 2017. Your part means so much each month.

Thank you each and every one!
