Brooke posted a new update on Abundant Nutrition. Check that out here. While we were in Boise, we hung out with our Allelon friends at Rembrandt’s Coffee House and Rickard took us on a tour of The Landing Community Center. They’re doing some really great stuff out there. We left Boise on Friday and we [...]

We are leaving Denver this morning and headed to Fort Collins. Brooke posted some more photos last night.
I forgot to mention that while we were in Pittsburgh, I had the chance to visit the PULSE house and Union Project–a very cool project using an old, vacated church building. Check out the websites to learn more.

We are now well into the second half of our road trip and slowly headed back toward the west coast. We spent a few days in Cincinnati, OH with our dear friends at Vineyard Central. Kevin and Tracy Rains, hosted us at the Brownhouse–our midwest home away from home. Unfortunately, we missed the convergence of [...]

Friday morning we joined Seth, Leah and Judah for [...]

A cross, a symbol of a death.
A country. a symbol of a dream.
Living souls trek, through.
Along the way speaking [...]

In our last post, we were headed to Albuquerque, NM. The scenery across Arizona and New Mexico was stunning! We stayed the night and left fairly early the next morning. Our next stop was Lubbock, TX–hometown of Buddy Holly. Of course, being a music fan, this stop was fun for me. After taking a dip [...]

The Grand Canyon is absolutely stunning. We are off this morning to explore New Mexico, and then on to Lubbock, Texas. The kids have been great travelers so far, not too much grouchyness.

Greetings from the road! We are having a great time so far. Our drive out to Phoenix was timely and uneventful. The scenery was amazing. The kids have never seen desert like that before. Matt kept looking for Will E. Coyote and the Road Runner out his window. We pulled into Phoenix and drove into [...]
