Sojourn
sojourn (n.) a brief period of residence; (v.) to live somewhere temporarily I spent November outside of Hawaii. I meant to blog about it as soon as I got back, but life can be a whirlwind (plus I’m still enjoying as much of my on-vacation-laid-back attitude as much as possible) and I haven’t gotten to…

Philippines: Looking Back
Today was the day the youth presented their experiences from the mission trips to the “stockholders” that invested in the trips. Without support, most of us couldn’t have gone. There were some good stories told by the kids, and a couple of great videos of our time there (I’m trying to get copies for you)…

Kauai, much delayed
I suppose I owe you a blog entry. Since, you know, July is 3/4 over and I haven’t written one iota. Well, that’s not quite true. I did caption the photos over at my photo journal… but I didn’t even add a little blurb over there when I uploaded new photos today. Shame on me.…

Maui Whale Tails
On Saturday, J and I flew to Maui to go whale watching. This sounds like a little bit crazy, especially since we didn’t spend the night, but Hawaiian Air offers reasonable prices for island hopping and it would’ve been expensive to stay somewhere on Maui, as it’s got a lot of resorts and things. Anyway,…
