So, It's been more than a Year Since I last blogged....

It seems like forever since I tried to keep up with blogging on a regular basis.  Since my last blog, the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning have earned their Superbowl (Yeah!), the world is reeling from terrorist attacks, refugees are rampant throughout Europe, University Students in Papua New Guinea have called for the resignation of the Prime Minister, tensions are on the rise in the US between the police and certain demographics of the population, Great Britain has decided to part ways with the EU and the two primary political parties in the US have decided on their two standard bearers.  Wow!  What a difference a year makes!

So what now?  As I sit here in the mountains of Papua New Guinea, I must reflect on what the future holds for Denese and me.  What type of America will we find when we return home?  How do we see the state of Missions from our perspective?  The world seems so much different from when I was a small boy playing hide 'n seek with the neighborhood children in Western Maryland in the quaint city of Hagerstown Maryland.  Then, the biggest decision that I had to make was on matters of which games to play or not play.  Today, my days are spent trying to decide how best to stretch our scarce resources to serve the areas here in PNG with the greatest need both spiritually and physically.  

Ah, Papa, God!  I can never appreciate how awesome and unfathomable your wisdom is.  For me, the concerns are a few villages here and there.  For you, it is all of creation.  What a joy, it shall be when I will be able to see you face to face and learn of you--forever!
