Relax and Still Be Watchful

Relaxing does not mean not watching!
In all the ‘dangerous places’ that I have traveled in 26 years of living in Europe and traveling in Eastern Europe, Africa and India … nothing has ever been stolen from me when I was being watchful when traveling.

25 years ago this month, we embarked on the exciting adventure which led us to serving the Lord in Europe from Scotland.  Inevitably, our children’s lives were intertwined in our pursuit.   Annette (who was 16), Amber (14) and Duska (9)  finished growing up in Scotland and they all live in Scotland/Ireland now.  Three sons-in-law and nine grandchildren later, here we all are on Easter Sunday, at one of our rare, ‘entire family’ get-togethers.  Amber is the photographer in this clever picture.  Look closely and you’ll see all 17 of us.
