Kansas Sky



Roger grew up in the middle of the USA, in the state of Kansas. As far as the eyes can see, land spreads out all around, and some of the biggest sky you can ever see covers everything. Often as you drive along the highways which seem to run endlessly in straight lines toward the horizon, the land and sky make different harmonies of light and shadow, texture and color. We enjoyed the God's exhibit of His majesty, as we drove for 5 hours across a swath of Kansas one day recently.

USA:The boys' first time experience of kayaking



Before we left Charlotte, North Carolina, we drove west into Tennessee, where the boys got to go kayaking on a lake for the first time ever!

USA: Roger's family in KS

We have been really enjoying spending lots of time with Roger's family in Kansas


USA: Paintig with a Purpose

A woman who owns an art studio in Charlotte, North Carolina hosted a Courage Homes art fundraiser. It was a fun night of fellowship, laughter, and painting together. Roger & I shared about Courage Homes, before the artist then coached everyone to paint a picture of a cross. Something about painting in community makes my heart full.



USA: Meena's first time jumping from a diving board


Last time we were in Goa (in January 2011) Meena could only swim a few metres through the water. But when we went to the Carolina coast in June when her grandparents came to spend a week with us at the beach, she converted into a "fish"! She now swims much longer distances in water way over her head. Soon after we returned from the beach, she took her first leap off a diving board at a community pool near a friend's home.
