Priceless

We spend a lot of time taking pictures. Posed group pictures. Action photos. Scenery. Video. On our Photo Site you can see hundreds of pictures and videos from our rides. If you didn’t know better you’d think capturing images was the whole point. Memories matter. Joshua placed an alter of 12 stones at the place […]

Wouldn’t It Be Better?

Ever hear about “speaking up for the voiceless”? It’s sort of odd, because those “voiceless” people really have the same voices as you and me. Their voices are beautiful. And capable. And worth hearing. Those voices are intentionally, systematically silenced and repressed. Or they’re simply ignored out of convenience and privilege, because their words and […]

The Next Question

So, now we know. Thanks to the Internet and a lot of hard work, we all know. There was a time when it was possible to not-know.

A year later, on our way to do 1000 miles around Florida, we stopped in Memphis to visit the place where an assassin’s bullet ended Dr. King’s life. Those experiences also […]

About Comparing

I ran across an interesting thought about comparing. God created all sorts of stuff. Big stuff and little stuff. Bugs. Stars. Trees. Snakes. I think He’s still creating. I don’t know how.

One Hand

I’ve been showing you the handprints of our kids. We can’t show their faces. They live in a place where showing pictures, listing names, even naming the country would magnify the danger they already face from the traffickers. So the handprints are a way of creating a sense that we’re personally connected. However, 22 handprints […]
