The Big and Crazy Apple

We are excited to meet our “blog” friends, the Roses!  It’s kind of like meeting a pen pal.  We will be getting to know them quite intimately as our family stays for a couple days in their tiny little apartment.  Here’s their blog website if you want to get to know them a little also! [...]

Jubilee House was wicked (in the Bostonian sense)

Before we begin posting on our wild adventures in New York we wanted to explain a little more about what Jubilee House was like.

Bill and Sue Dunigan are majors for the Salvation Army and back in 1993 were given the opportunity to start this little community.  Their heart for the Jubilee House is to be [...]

Park Street Church, Boston

It was pretty fun to have an opportunity to share our story at one of the oldest churches in America, Park Street Church.  Our family joined the small urban ministry group that works right across the street from the church in the Boston Common. They have someone make muffins and coffee right before they go [...]

things we’ve learned

After 4 months of traveling and learning how to live on the road with our family, God has stretched and moved in many ways in our own hearts and minds.  It is hard for us to really put it all into words but we wanted to make an attempt to communicate [...]

Community with Jubilee House

We joined the Jubilee House (where we are staying) for their community dinner last night.  They have it every Tuesday for neighbors, friends, kids and whoever else needs a little community in their life.  We had a random collection of leftovers and talked with a few folks from around the area.
Dinner included a wild [...]

This little spot needs some Jesus

We went down a few blocks from our parking spot at the Jubilee House to Dorchester Ave. today to give out some free coffee.  Most people wouldn’t make eye contact with me, and even more didn’t want anything I was offering.   This is what I did most of the morning:

But that was OK.  We pray [...]

All settled and ready to go!

So we made it to Dorchester (just south of Boston) yesterday and got ourselves squeezed into the perfect spot behind the Jubilee House.
Perfect place for our family with kitchen access, laundry access, people to talk to/get to know, play structure complete with lots of sand, walking distance to great public transit and vehicles to borrow [...]

Twitter

Not sure if anyone has seen the “Twitter” feature on the right hand side of our website, but I thought I would tell everybody who doesn’t know about it.  Basically it does the same thing that Facebook updates do by telling people what you are up to at that moment.  We use it to communicate [...]

Niagara Falls

If you haven’t been here to see Niagara Falls, we highly recommend it!  Especially on a beautiful autumn day!  We took a couple hours to walk around and view the sights. The rainbow was a special highlight!
I think the most entertaining moment was when a small group of Japanese tourists stopped and started taking pictures [...]

Off to Boston!

Well, we said our last good-byes this evening and took off from Cleveland on a night drive for the first stint of our journey to Boston. We will head up to Niagara Falls tonight, see the sights tomorrow morning and then over to Albany tomorrow, stay the night at Walmart and then get to Boston [...]
