Tuesday will be our first election day back in the US, and yet we’re further from voting now than we were last year across the ocean.

About Brian
I am a follower of Jesus, blessed with a wife, two children, and a call to serve God wherever He leads. For 12 years, we were missionaries, with me serving as a missionary journalist sharing stories of His work in South Africa and around the world. When we moved back to the USA, Tracy and the kids returned to normal work, and I continued serving remotely in missions. I am now returning to working outside missions, but ministry will always be part of our family's lives in Christ.Thoughts on residency and voting

A little breathing room
One of the harder aspects of relocating from a missionary field to our hometown has been the loss of collegiality.

“If you can cook our food, then you are one of us.”
I have always enjoyed food—the joy of exploring different tastes and textures, the excitement of experimenting and creating something new, the delight of sharing discoveries and successes with others, the pleasure of fellowship around the table, and the comfort of familiar favorites.
