"Hail Varsity" - Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band


I had the privilege to be a member of the University of Nebraska Marching Cornhusker Band when Jan and I were studying at the University. It was fun to relive some memories listening to the band's pre-game warmups.

Moving Ahead

Greetings from Lincoln! It is the end of another beautiful fall day in Nebraska. The trees are at their peaks or have lost their leaves, depending upon the tree. We have had frosty mornings and clear "see your breath" nights.

We just returned from a long weekend trip that included a missions conference at Bethesda Church in Huron, South Dakota. It was great to be back with those folks and share our vision and passion for Europe. Katie and Nicholas stayed with Grandpa and Grandma (Jan's folks) and their Aunt and Uncle (Jan's brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Becky) and cousin Jon. We are sure they were not lonely or did without!

Monday we returned to the farm to get the kids and enjoyed an evening at a high school football playoff. Wow, was it cold! But once we returned to the folks that same night, the stars were amazing. There are no city lights and haze to block the stars in Naper country. It was an awesome display of God's creation, love, power, and mercy.

Now we are back in Lincoln, preparing for an Open House at Berean Church Friday night and then more fellowships in Bonesteel, South Dakota and Sioux City, Iowa next weekend.

Thanks for reading, sharing with us, and praying for us. The Father continues to move us ahead as we target January 13 for our return to the ministry field.
