For Marlene and me this will be a fun trip because 33 years ago we got married in Phoenix on a Thursda …

Here’s my favorite story from last week’s Bible conference in Indio, California. By way of background, I should say that the conference draws RVers and Snow Birds from the Pacific Northwest, Canada, Southern California and Arizona.

Bill picked me up at the airpor …

Next month Marlene and I are traveling to Nanchang, China to visit Josh and Leah. We will be spending two days in Shanghai at the end of the trip. Does anyone out there have any hotel recommendations for us? I’d like to find a reasonably priced hotel located somewhere near the downtown area.

We met them in the mid-90s when they attended the church in Oak Park during their student years at Moody Bible Institute. Tom and Janine helped out in t …
