Back home again!
This has been a difficult week. When the wheels of our plane touched the ground on St. Croix last Monday, the passengers broke into applause. It was a plane load full of people just like us. People who love and live on the island, but who had been away for the hurricanes. The lady in … Continue reading
No cats in America
If you’ve ever seen the old movie An American Tail, you may remember that when the mice are getting ready to move to America, they are told that there are “no cats in America”. They are heading off to a perfect land of milk and honey. Karl and I have used that phrase over the … Continue reading
Ministry – part two (Plus a bug followup)
I’ve gotten a lot of feedback about the mouse-sized bug I mentioned last time. I just want to add a tiny bit. First off, I’ve only seen two of those big guys. The second one was just today. I was precariously sitting atop the floor joists in the new bathroom (no, the floor isn’t down … Continue reading
Sunday Morning Ministry
Karl and I are looking for a church here on our island. We’ve gone to two churches in two weeks. Both were nice, but we felt much more comfortable the second week. This is the non-tourist season here, and both churches were relatively small (under 100 people I’d guess). This past week at the second church, … Continue reading

I have two snippets to share- just snapshots, really, of this past week: 1. Karl and I were snorkeling the other day after ripping the … Continue reading

After visiting several West Indian Islands and researching lots more (plus watching International House Hunters ALL the time!), we focused our infatuation on St. Croix in the US Virgin … Continue reading
Jellyfish
Last summer, we had the great fortune to be able to snorkel at Buck Island Reef National Monument near St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Buck Island snorkeling is really great. There’s a kind of canyon of rock and coral that you can snorkel over. The park service has added markers on the sea … Continue reading
Oceans of Beauty
We just got back from a beautiful trip to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. It was warm and humid and perfect, to my thinking. The Caribbean water was almost as warm as the air. Snorkeling was wonderful. Off the Fredricksted pier we swam with a hawks bill turtle as well as a million … Continue reading
