God blessed us with a beautiful day to host a cookout for our Roma friends on the day before Easter. Joe and Julie occasionally rent a facility across town to do this because it is a good clean place and has a grill and play area for the children. These events also give the Roma folks an opportunity to venture out away from their part of town and relax. This was our (Dawn and I) first experience with such a cookout and we had a great time. It gave us an opportunity to visit with people on a more casual basis and of course enjoy some good food! Joe manned the grill and did a good job. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Staring Right at 62
So many things go through your head when you approach a major birthday. Once upon a time, many considered 62 as the age to retire early. Yet, in many ways, I feel as if I am just getting started. I must admit, though, that the years have affected me in many ways. Just today I…
Remembering Missionary Gayle Hill
Today, if the Lord tarries, I will attend the “home going” service of an old friend and IMB colleague, Gayle Hill. In the years of my missionary service (and way before that) she was often called Mamma Gayle by Romanians and Americans who worked with her on mission trips to the area around Braila, RO….
