Europe Picture Slide Show - Part 1

I am finally to the point I can start sharing pictures with everyone.  Though I am still sorting through them, I have put the first week of the trip in a slide show for yours and my enjoyment.  The other parts will be released in the coming days.  Stay tuned...

The Story of Jonah

Dear Friends, Every once in a while I come across a story, song, or video that captures so beautifully the heart of God and I love sharing them with you.  This is one a friend posted on Facebook tonight and it is extraordinary.

A few years ago, I was at our local Jewish temple and the Rabbi did a midrash with the congregation on the story of Jonah. Throughout his telling, he would ask us questions as if we were Jonah, or the Ninevites, or even the whale and we had to answer from that person's perspective. I loved it. The story of Jonah has been precious to me ever since but this girl tells it like I've never heard it before. She's given me much to think about.

Chwele Yearly Meeting Youth Choir

This is a video of one of the children's choirs with us at the Young Quaker Christian Association of Africa triennial conference last December.  I now believe any conference without two such African children's choirs just isn't right and is in fact, far from being a complete conference.  When I get back home from house sitting, I think I'll have to post some more of my own videos.

Hoggatt Family Reunion Video

I'll write about how the reunion is going later on when the kitchen isn't resembling Grand Central Station, but for now, here is a video of pictures we took yesterday.

Notes for Two

As a follow up to my Valentine's Day post, this is a beautiful image of love- two musicians, 2 different lines of music coming together.


"An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They've been married for 62 years and he'll be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, it's all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do!"

Videos from Lodwar, Turkana

Though these will be fun to watch for everyone, I took the first three of these videos especially for the editorial board of the Quaker Youth Book Project so they can see John's family and where he is building his house. The fourth is a video of us together in Lodwar which I am sure you will all love.
