Haiti- Day 6/7 6:20am I’m on the road again. I can’t believe the amount of travel this trip has required. Because Dame-Marie is so remote, travel has been one of the biggest features of this week. Thankfully, our road today is relatively smooth. Instead of cramming into several pickup trucks, we are all in a… [Read more…]

Haiti- Day 5 I am currently sitting in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, but getting here was miserable. We needed to leave Dame-Marie at 6 in the morning. The road across southern Haiti is under quite a bit of construction, and one section near our destination was going to be closed… [Read more…]

Don Juan is gone. Yesterday we were laughing at a male goat we named Don Juan. We ate him tonight for dinner. That was a weird experience. At least he was tasty! Today we woke up early again, although it seems like I’m the last person awake every morning. No surprise there! After breakfast, we… [Read more…]

I need to make a confession–I struggle with one of the core tenants of our faith. I get it right some times, with some people; however, my practice of it is limited. From the moment we drove down the mountain into Dame-Marie I have been unable to escape it. Every person I come into contact… [Read more…]

My day today began at 1:19- 11 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. I jumped in the shower and cranked the heat up a little more than usual, knowing that this may be the last hot shower I see this week. I kissed Kim and Molly goodbye and, fighting the urge to… [Read more…]

The other day, after sending out my post about the Multiple Sclerosis ride I’m participating in soon, I received this response from a friend of ours who suffers from the disease. I thought that sharing it with you would help give a glimpse into the life of someone who struggles with it daily: Jeremy, I… [Read more…]

People diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis face challenges that many of us will never understand. Because of this, and in honor of those I know who suffer from it, I have chosen to embrace something that is a challenge for me! Though I spent my childhood on two wheels, I have only just returned to the… [Read more…]

Last fall when we learned that we were expecting Molly, one of the things that concerned me was my expanding waistline. I’ve managed to put on a lot of weight through the last few years and I decided that now was a good time to do something about it. Most husbands gain weight through a… [Read more…]
