I wonder why no one ever mentioned that they sell Reese's Cups at the cafe here at the Bible school. And they aren't the two packs, there are three cups in each package.These little blessings keep reminding me that my Father loves me.
General ramblings of a 40 something missionary with a wonderful wife, 6 kids, and lots of stuff to think about.

I spent quite a bit of time with the guys down at the 'gumiserviz' last Saturday. That's where they change your tires. All season tires are rare in Europe. Most people have a set of summer tires and winter tires. I don't own two sets of rims for each car, so I take the cars down to get the winter tires put on. I also had one tire that was pretty much destroyed by a curb which seemed to be unnecessarily close to the road. That meant that I was able to explore the jack and the spare tire as well as honing my tire changing skills. All is in good order. The VW (pictured) had to make a return trip to the gumiserviz after I was able to remove a nail from the roadway by lodging it in one of my tires.

I have a job that can be nebulous. When people ask me what I do I have to decide whether to give them an answer which satisfies them or the real one. The answer which satisfies is usually ‘leadership development for our staff and partners,’ which is kinda true. The real one is more complex and either doesn’t help or baffles them into silence. I’m thinking about this because these past couple of weeks I’ve been working on my annual evaluation. That’s where I sit down to evaluate the past year, look at the role I think God is calling me to, and make some plans for the coming year. There are forms to fill out and all that, but the most important outcome for me is a fairly clear picture of my direction (and the one short sentence answer to the ‘what do you do?’ question). I’ll be working it all out on the calendar over the next few weeks, but I wanted to share some of this with you so you can get a look at what I’m going to be busy with over the next 12 to 18 months.
