Tom & I have now arrived in Adelaide, after a long (1000 km) but spectacular 2 day trip along the coast between Melbourne and Adelaide. I last made this trip with my family when I was 12 years old so as you can imagine there was a great deal of nostalgia and remembering for me.

It is hard to believe that the first week of our trip Down Under is over. Much to my discouragement the weather here in Sydney has been cold and wet – not much fun for Black Stump where most of the speaking was in tents. I came back to my mother’s with very muddy shoes [...]

Tom and I returned from Holland on Tuesday evening – still trying to get our clocks turned around but it is great to be home. I will share more on our experiences in the next couple of days as I have time to sort photos and reflect on experiences. One thing is obvious however – [...]

Tom and I are struggling to get our clocks turned around while getting ready for our first speaking event later this afternoon. Actually I should say I am struggling with getting up when my body tells me it is time to go to sleep, he is full of energy and do most of the preparation.

I have just arrived in Pasadena for the 2008 West Coast Healthcare Missions and Ministry Conference and feel as though I have been nickelled and dimed to death as I travelled.
