Summer hit early in the Czech Republic. The inner city has a special kind of heat, but I still prefer it to winter. Our visa appeal has been filed, and the lawyer estimates a six-month wait for an answer. If it is rejected, we can start the application process over....

As May ends we are fully back in the swing of normal life. The one challenge we are currently facing is with our residency permit. The paperwork was submitted several weeks ago, but we have not had a substantive response. While our current visas have expired, we are...

After a wonderful but draining (Spoke for nine different churches in three states.) trip to the States, I’m back home and in the saddle. It was wonderful to get back and see that spring has arrived. We did have a little excitement in our building the first night. I...
