In February 2007 I visited Saigon, or Ho Chi Min City, in the beautiful south of Vietnam. I visited a couple of propaganda-filled museums, took a couple photos on the street, then put my camera away and enjoyed the city.

The photos I took (see the set or slideshow) aren’t the most comprehensive, but they still give a couple more glimpses into that fascinating world. Enjoy!

Check out what my nieces and nephew found during their trip to Florida … I need to get me one of those!

Something about this photo, displayed in the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, really messes with me.

Congratulations, my dear friends … I’ve known each of you a long time, and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead. Onward and upward!

This past week, I had the pleasure of joining four other adults and twenty-four eighth graders on a trip to Monterrey, the third-largest city in Mexico. The majority of our time was spent serving the people, facilities, and children of Back2Back Ministries, an organization that helps several children’s homes (the positive name for an orphanage) throughout the city.

The time was saturated with hard work, intentional growth, and plain-old good times … and God really did a number on my heart too. But instead of telling you stories right now, I’d like to just share my photos. I’ve posted about two hundred online … so if you want to see what we did, check out the set or the slideshow.

What captivation!

In February 2007 I traveled across the Cambodian border into Vietnam to meet up with Rick, Natalie, and Amy. We spent our first few days in Mui Ne, a sleepy little fishing village on the eastern shore … and it was glorious.

Here’s a set and slideshow of the nineteen shots I got before my batteries ran out. Oh, how I’d like to be there right now, sipping on a banana milkshake as the ocean breeze swirls all around!
