Short-Term Missions: Fundraising & People-Raising
5/30
Welcome to day 5 of my 30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
You can’t talk about short-term missions involvement without talking about fundraising… the two go hand in hand – like PB & J*. The harshest critics of STM look negatively on it because of what they consider to be a poor return on investment. Others consider the experience and impact worth every penny.
Short-Term Missions: Lasting Friendships
4/30
Welcome to day 4 of my 30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
Short-Term missions does a lot of things well, but one thing it does especially well is allow you to form faith-centered, faith-building friendships, many of which will last a life time.
Short-Term Missions: How you see things
3/30
Welcome to day three of my 30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
I thought that since days one and two had to do with vision (how friends see you & how you see yourself)… I’d stick with that theme, but today is not about you, it’s about how you see the present and the future.
Short-Term Missions: How YOU see you
2/30
If you were being honest, you’d probably say that there are days when you too see yourself like yesterday’s knight or knight-ess in shining armor. I’d hazard a guess, however, that there are other days when you see yourself a bit like this fellow… with a bit more realism and a bit less enthusiasm. Continue reading

God Provides
Grapes. Lots & lots of grapes.
I’ve always loved the symbolism and from the time I had my own home, had a grapevine planted somewhere in the garden. “Symbolism?”, you may ask, “What symbolism?”
In the Old Testament book of Numbers (13:23-25) the Israelites sent to spy out the promised land discovered a place of plenty. In particular, they found a grapevine that was producing so well that they clipped a bunch of grapes to take back to the rest of their countrymen as proof. That bunch of grapes was so big that it took two men to carry it on a stick. It was proof that God had provided a good place for them to enter, a place of provision… truly a promised land!
Planes, Trains & Automobiles: See you in Indianapolis
See that Airplane wing in the bottom half of today’s featured image? That should give you a clue as to at least part of what I’ll tell you about today… This has been a great week!
National Holiday & Praying for Leaders
Seems to me I said it two years ago, but I’ll say it again. The national holiday – even in a small town – is pretty special here. Fireworks set to music with a 400 year old bridge and her two towers as a backdrop and we got to be within only a couple hundred feet.
Moving Forward with a New Book
Typically, photos that appear as feature images for the blog posts are photos that I’ve taken myself or, when text-based, I created in Photoshop. Today’s photo, however, is different. Continue reading
