I’m Still Alive!

Just wanted to let everyone know I’m alive and kickin’. Survived first day of school at Harvest Christian Academy. Different, but good. Nothing will compare to NCA, but I am enjoying this new season. So I’ve heard from some of you, but it would be nice to put an update of where everyone is so we can keep in touch and pray.

I need to apologize to the Mexico group. Needed to be in Montana with my Dad. Sorry, Sorry, Sorry. Hope to see a lot of you at the meeting/reunion Jim wrote me about. Forgot the date.

I’m also on Facebook now, and I keep it up about as well as I do this site. I should probably shut one down. Plus I will have a new website at Harvest. So who knows. I miss all of you and you’re in my prayers!!!

Do you mind!

Took ferry over to the aquarium on Southport yesterday and celebrated Jono’s Birthday by watching Dark Knight and it was very, very dark, but also very good! This has been a very nice vacation, and I am enjoying the beach more than usual. The aquarium featured some very nice fish and other assortment of sea life. They had a nice loggerhead exhibit too! Still haven’t seen any baby turtles hatch, but there are three nests that I believe are about to boil. That is turtle talk for about to hatch. Hope everyone’s summer is going well, and I’m praying for you all.

Peace @ Last

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you so much for all your prayers!!!  I signed the contract today with Harvest Christian Academy.  I will be teaching 7/8 Literature and High School Photography along with an Independent Study in photojournalism in conjunction with the Yearbook.  Next year I will be teaching High School Bible electives such as C.S. Lewis and the Bible and the Media.  Yesterday I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life, but my prayers were for God’s glory to be magnified and my family to be provided for.  When I called Lititz the principal was incredibly gracious!  So gracious that I almost changed my mind.  Again thank you for all your prayers over these very difficult weeks.  I am continuing to pray for all of you and please keep in touch.  I was invited to Facebook today, and so I joined.  I think you just need to go to facebook and look up my name.  It’s pretty new to me.  Again thanks for all your prayers.  Debbie, Grant and I are headed to Holden Beach this Friday for a week.  Then it is out to Montana with my brother the beginning of August.  This summer has flown by.  Bummer!

Lititz Interview

Dear friends,

Both interviews went very well. I will hear if they are going to offer me the job by the end of the week. I would be teaching 6-10th Bible. There also might be a JV Basketball coach position and they are needing someone to teach photography for the yearbook. If only this position was in Streamwood it would be almost ideal. Keep us in prayer.

Thanks,
Rodger

Interview in Lititz, PA

Dear friends,

I have an interview in Lititz, PA this coming weekend for a secondary Bible Teaching position. We would appreciate your prayers. This would be a big move for us.

American Goldfinch- Wild Surround

WILD SURROUND by noinkling

Debbie and I took a stroll into the wild surround.

At first we saw a finch and we’d barely gone an inch.

Weedy greens and purple tops strangled all the ground.

Across a street onto a pond a heron paradise we found.

A sudden thrust; a fish a rush; I made no sound.

Amazing, Majestic Heron

Few words were said as amazing, majestic heron fed.

On we walked, but always stopped by nature’s dread.

Young ducklings huddled at pond’s edge in fear.

Gave us pause to lean in closer, closer near.
