Return to London & NYC

The Cross Keys Hotel dates back to the 16th (maybe even 15th) century and is associated with Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War. Legend has it that it was originally built around a large…

Wintering in Africa (upcoming trip)
8th January 2026 Tickets are bought but I haven’t yet packed for the trip. What kind of jacket should I pack if I’ll be transiting through winter weather in London and arriving into the comfortable temperatures of the cool, rainy season in Malawi? We’ve recently had snow here in Brooklyn. It’s not unusual for me…

Planting Trees in Kadoma
Day 9 – 22nd January 2023 I didn’t take very many photos this morning. Just a photo or two of my roommate who I only discovered was with me a few days ago. He likes to hide behind the baseboards or under the crown molding. Sometimes behind the small rubbish bin in the corner. He’s…

Departures – Atonement
October 5th, 2022 A few hours ago we finished our fast. The Day of Atonement is meaningful in so many ways. It is a day when God’s people draw close to Him. It is a day that pictures the binding of Satan so the reign of Jesus Christ can officially commence on the earth in…

A Warm Welcome Home – Day 23
Monday, May 2nd, 2022 Matt and I arrived at the Dubai airport very early in the morning. We had about an hour to clear the various security checkpoints and then check into our flight. I got a notification saying our flight was actually boarding much earlier than originally anticipated. In actuality there was an additional…
