Graduation, Dubai and Malaysia!!

Kathryn is getting ready to get her 8th grade diploma. She will be a high schooler next year....where is the little girl I know?????? She made it!!!
Goofing off with her best friend, Eirin who is leaving for Norway and will not be back :-(
Astrid and her mom. They forgot their camera so we offered to take their picture for them. Kathryn and Astrid has been classmates since Kindergarten!
At Java House, at Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi, getting ready to board the flight to Dubai! Guess where and what my family is up to????? My three goof balls....The Golden Arches of MacDonalds of course, in Dubai airport at 12 am!!!!
Home at last with family! My family organised a welcome dinner for us at a Chinese restaurant. YUMMO!This is totally "weird". Tony and the girls went shopping together at a mall called Mega Mall - the name is self-explanatory! They found this fish spa. It seems that you dunk your feet into this little pool and tens/hundreds of little fishes (imported from South Africa, nonetheless!) will start chewing on your feet and eating all the bacteria and dry skin and promote circulation and good health! The girls wanted to try it .... Eewwwww....if you ask me.....!Kat look pretty dazed huh??? I think she is overwhelmed by the many choices confronting her at.............guess where???

On the more serious note, after these few days of fun and relaxing, Tony and I are getting ready to work on ministry dates and services and praying and seeking the Lord for our time with the Body of Christ here. We trust the Lord to give us a word for His church here.

We also heard from our friends back in Nairobi campus that they are having a water crisis and will continue to be without water till Thursday - for my friends in Nairobi reading this, pole sana!! We will be praying for you guys - maybe :-)

Turning 60 : Reflections on a New Season

  Turning 60: Reflections on a New Season I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and found myself talking about my 60th birthday. I’m not usually one to make a big deal about birthdays—but as I approached this milestone, I found myself reflecting a little more deeply. Sixty feels… different. Special, even. One birthday message on Facebook welcomed me to the “Senior Club.” Apparently, turning 60 bumps you into a whole new age bracket. What does that mean? Well, for starters, higher insurance premiums—got that notice earlier this year! But beyond the paperwork, it feels like a shift. This is the beginning of a new season. Some call it the “final” season of life—but I’ve decided to see it as a privileged one. Because now, at 60, I’m the youngest in this new demographic! There are perks too—senior discounts at movie theaters, restaurants, parks, museums. Priority seating on trains and planes. It took me six decades to earn these privileges, and I’ll gladly accept them! Looking...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...

Vickie in Elsamere and Crescent Island (CFS)

While we face many challenges here in the missions field, we also reap many blessings. One of the biggest blessing to us is the great school that the girls attend : Rosslyn Academy. It started many years ago as a missionary school to cater for the needs of the missionaries' kids. The school has since grown and it is now one of the best schools here in Nairobi. We are very grateful for the quality education that our girls are getting. One of the highlight of the school year is CFS (Cultural Field Studies). The kids get to camp out someplace in the country to learn more about the country they live in. This year, the 7th graders went to Elsamere Park and Crescent Island. You can tell from the photos that they had a great time! They visited a local school and played soccer with the kids. Sports is such great way for kids to get together! These are dung critters..having a feast, I suppose....eewwwww... Miss Gac, she's a great teacher and Vickie loves her! She taught Kathryn...
