Drums for Christ: Shepherding 101
http://drumsforchrist.blogspot.com/2010/06/shepherding-101.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. When we first came to Peru, I have to say that my entire experience with sheep boiled down to petting some at a petting zoo, and taking pictures of them at the county fair. Other than that, I knew absolutely nothing about sheep. So the descriptions in the Bible and the stories revolving around sheep (more than 700 references! So now I am learning a lot about sheep and shepherds. And it is beginning to make so much more sense to me! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Drums for Christ: April 2010
http://drumsforchrist.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. In the States, we have some friends who actually complained that their microwave broke during their "campout" and that they were so happy that they had a DRYER in their camper! We quickly informed them that they were not campers. they were on a rolling hotel vacation. So we decided to hike some more and head over the next mountain to the next town. Again, breathtaking views and incredible wildflowers, rock formations, etc. I can't wait until the next campout. The Drum Family serv...

Drums for Christ: September 2009
http://drumsforchrist.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. In the end, the city council voted in our favor and the mayor spoke on our behalf. The mayor also said, "This town NEEDS more love and we NEED someone to teach the word of God here. We are glad that you are here." This was a huge victory! Since the meeting, the local school director has greeted our director with handshakes and kind words in the mornings. The verbal abuse has stopped and things seem to be going well. No, we are not so naive as to believe that everyone.

Drums for Christ: Going Away
http://drumsforchrist.blogspot.com/2010/10/going-away.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. We are currently in the mad rush to get things finalized, packed, and ready for us to leave Peru for our 4 month "furlough". I really detest the word "furlough" right now. I guess from being raised in a military family where the word evokes images of R&R (rest and relaxation), shore leave, fun, time off, and vacation. it means nothing of the sort for us! Not that we're complaining. We are very excited to go "home" and see our boys and our families and our friends. We ar...Leavi...

Friday, September 3, 2010. Being a witness in the world. The following are excerpts from my devotional readings this morning. While reading them and trying to discern how to apply them to my life, I was struck with the thought that I needed to post them to my blog. Sometimes God puts ideas in my head that seem a little crazy to me, but I try to comply and follow-through, so here goes:. From the devotional My Heart-Christ's Home Through the Year. So, do with that what you will. It made a pretty big im...

Drums for Christ: A Moment in the life of the Stream
http://drumsforchrist.blogspot.com/2010/05/moment-in-life-of-stream.html
Monday, May 10, 2010. A Moment in the life of the Stream. I watched two young girls take baths and wash their hair in the pool in the bend of the stream. (no, they weren't naked! They bathed the exposed parts of their bodies while wearing shorts and tank tops.). When the girls left, I watched a woman bring the breakfast dishes to the same pool and do dishes. Upstream from the meat washers about 10 yards (at the same time the meat washers were working) 4 little boys decided to wash all of their muddy toys.

Drums for Christ: Pregnant? Old?
http://drumsforchrist.blogspot.com/2010/10/pregnant-old.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. So, the other day, Sarah and I are waiting in line to buy groceries. I think everyone in Huancayo had the same idea. to go and buy grocieries at exactly the same time, making about 15 check-out lines with about 25 people in each one! As I began to reach into my cart and put things on the counter, the check-out girl says, "Are you pregnant? Okay, now I don't have to tell any North American that THAT IS NOT A CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE QUESTION! What did you ask? No, I'm not pregnant,"...
