The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan Whilst I await the release of the next Brandon Sanderson Cosmere book (scheduled for November, 2022) I am slowly working my way through Robert Jordan’s “Wheel of Time” series. While I prefer Sanderson, Jordan has built a compelling world full of interesting characters and edge-of-your-seat adventure. “The Shadow Rising”,…
In a few minutes we will be departing New York for Florida (with stopovers in Virginia and North Carolina). But I didn’t want to leave without sharing some of the best articles from the Internet from this past week. Enjoy! Pearl Harbor Day came and went since our last list of links. Esther O’Reilly (pen…

Last week the Ebenezer church celebrated nine years of existence since we began the work back in 2012.

Lots of great pictures to share this week, so let’s get to it! (As always, if your browser does not show you the entire picture, just click on it) One of my greatest challenges on furlough is limiting the number of books I acquire. Believe it or not, this is doing pretty good. View this…

The poor lady is just walking along, minding her own business, when suddenly she finds herself inside a locked garage. Inside security cameras show her bewilderment. Following this incident, the lady in question became a…
While we are on furlough the camp development team we left behind has been hard at work. Building on the success of last year’s event, they organized and pulled off the second official teen retreat at the Mount Zion Baptist Camp. Here are some pictures and videos. ______________________________ Did you enjoy this post? Consider making…
Ever since I was a teenager my greatest spiritual hero has been Adoniram Judson. I’ve mentioned him before in this blog. I recently did a short video for a group of teens in New York State about his life. He even gets a shout-out in Missionary Max and the Jungle Princess. For those who may…
