I didn’t blog last night because after our potluck in Portland I drove over to small group to catch the last bit of time with my friends there. Sitting on the couch, I knew driving home on the verge of crashing might not be the best idea so I stayed with Carole in Vancouver for …
Thank you for your prayers! So far, so good. Tomorrow we drive to Newberg. Today was A LOT of fun. We took a tour (led by yours truly) of George Fox Evangelical Seminary, visited the Tulip Festival outside of Woodburn (which everyone loved- especially the cutouts you could stick your face into and the large …
Between cleaning out the kitchen, getting my car fixed, and getting ready to be with four other board members for the next two days, I have had a very full day. I feel like central command coordinating and overseeing the movements of four people through the Northwest. In fact, when I’m talking to one of …
For the panel on Friday night, we read a lot of the submissions we’ve received. The QUIP group really enjoyed them and asked us a few questions such as about John’s travels and what we wanted this book project to be. I also got to talk about our vision for the book and that was …
We seem to get slower and slower starts in the morning. I am sitting at the kitchen counter while Emily, Katrina, and Rachel make breakfast. Cara is next to me reading a book. (Imagine reading something besides submissions!) Breakfast smells good – french toast, bacon, and catntelope. John just came downstairs and I know the …

We are having free time right now. Emma (from Bolivia) and Lomuria (from Kenya) are particularly fascinated with American television. A show about three sisters who are witches was fun to see his reaction to. Harriet has gone for a run on the beach (just steps outside our door) and Wess and his family left …
John just asked me about a short bio from one of our contributors, “and lives with her wife…” I got to explain that to him. That was fun. So it turns out we do have Internet here and at least five laptops so I will be blogging, about the only thing I’ll be doing on …
I am safe here at Rockaway Beach. We have already had a great time driving over here, getting lunch, seeing the Tillamook Cheese Factory, and settling into the house along with dinner in a cozy dining nook just big enough for the four of us adults and Lily in a high chair. (She’s 16 months …
I am off to go spend five days with these wonderful people. I will blog about it when I get back. Until then, enjoy life! 365-09 #106
