It's been 19 years since we returned from overseas. In fact, living overseas seems like a lifetime ago. I've had the opportunity to visit overseas a few times, including, China/Hong Kong, Ukraine, Israel, and Pakistan. (Plus a western Caribbean cruise).
We've been home longer than we lived overseas. That is surreal.
So much has changed in these past 19 years.
I've been a pastor for nearly 19 years at the same church.
Both daughters have grown up, got married, and have their own lives.
I'm a grandpa. Poppy, actually.
I've published three books.
I've lost too many family members.
I gained more than 80K followers on TikTok.
One thing is constant; God is in control. He has been so good to us!
