    When you are a missionary at Kidz Camp on the Southwest Ohio District, you hear a lot of funny stuff. My favorite quote this week came from a little dude who was probably 8.  We found him sitting, slouched over with a grumpy face by a light pole. I thought his world had come to…

      It is early on this mid-week morning and I watch the rain falling on the edge of Indy. We are back together again as a family after the long journey home. Jet lag is almost a memory.  As we settle into new summer rythms for a family on the road,  cultural re-engagement is top on…

    On July 26, 2007, I posted the following note on Facebook as a chapter in our furlough experience. As we prepare to fly next month for the Sunberg Furlough Summer 2015, I am chuckling over the RED DRAGON. Taming the Red Dragon Well I finally did it this week. What has taken over a month…

    Dear Church, I’m not sure if you are listening. I’m not sure what you do behind your walls. I’ve never been there, you know? Never sure who was invited, or what to wear, or how to talk. And, I’m sure that I don’t look like someone who would ever wander into your building. But I’ve…

       Dear John, You never saw the chains. Maybe you just assumed that they never existed. Maybe you just didn’t care. There were chains, John. There still are. You see, no little girl or boy grows up wanting to be someone else’s merchandise. This isn’t about a fantasy, an escape, relaxation, or good old manly…

       Dear John. I arrived at the rescue house last night and it was full of girls, like me. Some older. Some younger. But, all of them wear the ‘for sale’ sign in their eyes. We don’t shed our price tags easily.  You never asked me how old I am. 15. Do you remember 15? …

          “We are prophets of a future that is not our own.” I wish that I had said that. It was penned by Bishop Ken Untener of Saginaw upon the death of an Archbishop.  I had a heavy moment last week as I taught an anti-trafficking workshop at church. In the midst of teaching,…

       Dear John, I don’t imagine that you will ever read this letter. Maybe that makes it easier to write. Funny, you are just as much of a nameless face to me as I was to you. I was just a body. You were just a John, one of many men who paid to use…

    If the story of the current 32 million slaves in the world does not move you, neither would any other plea from humanity.
