Pocket of Beauty, Bucket of Provision

It’s been much too long since I’ve posted, I know, and I’m not sure how many of y’all are still visiting our blog. I know you’ve missed me, however, so I’m giving y’all a small update as my graduation date draws nigh.

We have decided to remain in Ambridge for the next year as we prepare to leave for Uganda. The four needs that have been most immediately before us are:

  • A group of people committed to pray for us.

  • Choosing a missions agency with whom to partner.

  • Finding a home in Ambridge.

  • Finding a job in Ambridge.


We are so thankful for the ways in which God is continuing to take care of us:

  • Pocket of Beauty. Through a fellow student at school we have found a rental house in a space of surprising beauty right here in Ambridge. It sits on a bluff overlooking a creek and has a lovely view of the surrounding hills. Quite rare for this area, we have space on all sides of our home, space filled with grass and trees. Our landlords are Christians committed to using their property as ministry, and the rent they’re charging us is truly a gift. We look forward to our relationship with them.

  • Bucket of Provision. I have been offered and have accepted a year-long position at my school, Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry. In fact, I’ll be stepping back into my role as Coordinator of Online Education, the job I held on a part-time basis my first two years at Trinity. Katharine Frey, my wonderful past and future boss, is allowing me to work only 35 hours per week so we can continue to prepare for Uganda.


Graduation is indeed eminent. May 6 I’ll be done with classes, and May 14 I’ll receive my degree. Although I still love studying, we’re looking forward to ending this chapter of our lives.

More on the prayer group and missions agency in my next posting.

My pleasure, and my role, accepted! God bless. In Christ, jace

As far as our knowledge goes there is no psychic apparatus possessing only the primary process, and in so far it is a theoretic fiction; but so much is based on fact that the primary processes are present in the apparatus from the beginning, while the secondary processes develop gradually in the course of life, inhibiting and covering the primary ones, paxil and gaining complete mastery over them perhaps only at the height of life.. Nobody knows risperdal what people will do in Harlem.. Presently the Patriarch tylenol asked again: Why was M.. It was dry with the fine dust of waste places, and wet with the warm mists of slumbering swamps; it seemed to Gideon to tremble with the songs of birds, the vicodin dry murmur of palm leaves, and the almost inaudible whisper of the gray moss that festooned the live-oaks..

Prue had long since laid away her work, and had heard every word of the story. percocet.

Vardeman regarding the delayed payment for board, referring to delinquent allegra rentals and delayed remittances in a rather confused strain.. Our own dinner service is remarkably plain, viagra our dinners, even on state occasions, are strictly in keeping, and almost our only guest is Titbottom.. Thus, when we say that an unconscious idea strives for transference into the foreconscious in order later to penetrate consciousness, we do not mean that a second idea is to be formed situated in a new locality like an interlineation near flomax which the original continues to remain; also, when we speak of penetration into consciousness, we wish carefully to avoid any idea of change of locality..
